It is surely encumbent on the person making the allegation to prove its veracity, not for others to have to prove it false.
Post hoc ergo propter hoc.... Or (slightly differently) Why is it that staff are always asked to provide evidence when surely that is the job of people paid millions to do exactly that?
Rather than say 'Give us proof JQ will be more than 12(?? something like that) aircraft - Your claims are baseless, we will never do that!'. Which (as was suspected at the time) is/was/and always will be/ patent nonsense at best and a criminal lie at worst - Why not just provide the proof up front that the allegations are just nonsense?
Up to this point, Qf Management have been an absolute case in point that their words are totally untrustworthy and they lie as a matter of course. So - turn the questions on their heads for a change. So - 'Sorry, commercial in confidence' just doesn't cut it anymore.
The burden of accuracy in this case seems to have been levied (for decades now) upon the innocent questioners. Provide proof. Surely simple enough to defeat the questions with facts that a few quarrelsome drones in Sector 7G might ask. Can't be hard....
Stop apologising for asking simple questions!!! If they can't be answered simply - I guarantee obfuscation and lies are involved....
