From the article:

> Smith also said that most of the negative reaction was due to confusion around what the tools actually do. (Connor pointed out that it’s not possible to review what Kite does, since it itself is not open source.) Then he blew this reporter off. “I apologize in advance that I can't answer any further questions,” he wrote. “I need to focus on other parts of the business, including continuing to improve the product for our users, and conflict like this is always doubly distracting.”

The above sounds like you were given the opportunity to explain things but shrugged it off as a distraction.

If it deserves a more thorough response, why hasn't that been given? Even in this reply you only "quickly highlight" one point.
