How else would you even word it? They accurately described the situation. If people are leaping to "I know it wasn't us" then that's their own misinterpretation.

Is that not what we just watched a HN reader do with that analogy?
It would be equally accurate to say "We have no evidence that it wasn't our fault," either statement is equally meaningless when they have no significant evidence.
They chose to phrase their ignorance the only way that it could be misinterpreted as mitigating their liability, and we just watched that misinterpretation play out here.
"We haven't found any evidence of who was at fault" would be more forthright than answering only the half of that question that sounds better for them.
