Not taking any sides here because I think it’s still unclear what actually happened, but:
This is a weird point. It’s not like government workers unilaterally know when the people at the top are lying. If your friends are of high enough position to know the truth of the matter, it would be the priority of national security to not share the truth to you, should the truth be something other than what the government claims.
I can imagine being in your shoes and trusting your friends; that’s always a nice spot to be in. I just don’t see how this claim bolsters your previous argument.
If you want to think it’s a weird point, go ahead. I know many people in our government who separately trust their leadership and the actions of them. I won’t go into specifics but it works for me. Personally, I believe you have to trust and rely on people to get through life successfully, and I choose to skeptically trust our government, particularly the non political parts such as the state department and federal research labs.
