We don't have enough accurate knowledge to say that, and it doesn't seem to be the case at all.

    The first part of your sentence literally contradicts the second part: "we don't have enough knowledge to know, but I know the opposite".

      Only if you interpret statements as being binary logic.

      "seem to be" carries semantic meaning here: I'm stating my interpretation of the situation based on data we have available (which is limited) and my prior.

      Put another way: "We can't say that for sure, but my money is on it not being a simple case of intellectual property theft"
