Question: have you considered that that report could be simply inaccurate or false?
Yes of course. But it has not been proved either way. You are confusing lack of motive with lack of evidence.
You believe there is no motive to do so and therefore it didn't happen.
Someone reported that it did.
There is a way that could be proven through ACARS FMC WPR.
I have seen nothing to verify this did or didn't happen so it is currently possible.
