Wouldn't surprise me in the least. What better way is there to get out of actually having to show somebody something and not lose face?
I was thinking that when I asked about my "Team of Lawyers" question. The letter shows as having been signed by the Squenix Legal Team. Sure they may have altered the letter to hide the real names (like they did their own at the top), but I'd've figured they would have used the same black box treatment if that were the case. That part alone made the letter look fishy to me.
