I think that's a little harsh. The 787 has a history of smoke/fire incidents. The global fleet was grounded - of course it's going to be under scruitiny!

This incident, allegedly, involved smoke from a panel which resulted in the aircraft being grounded for an extended period. When the (delayed?) parts arrived it took a further 3 days to fix - not that minor?

It's not unreasonable to want more information about this incident - the silence only serves to add to this aircrafts "difficult" entry into service.
