I mean “we’re still gathering facts and we’re not going to comment until we’re more sure of what should be done” isn’t really a non-answer, but go ahead and pretend the admins are all-knowing, omnipotent beings if it makes you feel better.

You're not going to get an answer to a question like that regarding an ongoing investigation, even if it's a simple yes/no. You never answer anything until all your ducks are in a row, and then you stick to the official statement, otherwise your legal department yells at you. But part of good PR is that you have to non-answer but do so in a way that doesn't seem terse or rude, hence the verbose, joke-y let-down.
