They're perfectly free not to issue any statement at all.  I'm just
telling you what statement they'll need to issue in order to impress me.

I see.  It must have been Tony Evan's statement, "I am not suggesting
that you ask for your role back, I am urging you to take it back.  There
can be no compromise here." that thew me.  Even on review, it sounds like
telling, not asking.
