A hard-nosed business-style analysis yields the simple conclusion that such talkie-talkie only has upsides for them. Because doing it costs nothing:

  • If it yields results, they gain from it.
  • If it does not yield results they're no worse of than if they hadn't said anything.

So, yeah, they'll say whatever when they can only gain from it and at worst lose nothing at all from saying it.

Such kind of discourse should be treated as "lies until proven otherwise".
