The investigator is certainly right with everything he said, but nonetheless, the NTSB promptly replied:

"FOR CLARIFICATION: The comments of a former NTSB employee recently interviewed about the Starship Flight 7 launch did not constitute an official NTSB statement on the mishap. Per our normal procedures, the NTSB has two investigators observing the mishap investigation. Because the NTSB is not leading this investigation, all official investigative information will be released by the FAA."
But I guess that the FAA will have very similar views. And yes, letting it reenter in one piece seems to be more sensible than blowing it to pieces as long as it comes down within it's assigned corridor.
