Only if you believe that the warnings went out because of the "alarm over the devices' sophistication" and not "alarm over the idea this could happen" or even "alarm over a misidentification of a legitimate component and now we're too embarrassed to issue a retraction to those 10 CEOs"

Ok, but now you're making another argument with also zero evidence.

I think it's fair to say there are multiple circumstantial pieces of evidence that SuperMicro is inserting security vulnerabilities.

That should be enough to take the same decision that both the US gov't and Apple and others have made to avoid that manufacturer.
