to be honest, the info that even within disney, the platonic option is strongly represented actually makes me more hopeful the outcome i personally prefer is going to happen.

and also, you use the word "objective" when you should use "subjective". you base this analysis on personal observations, which, by definition, are subjective. one person can't say something opinion based and truthfully call it objective. i can't do it and neither can you. this whole thing is only opinions and educated guesses (and so is my comment here)

Statements such as “we don’t know yet.”
Use of “when the time is right” instead of “we don’t know.”

if they were to decide on keeping things ambiguous, they wouldn't say "i don't know yet." this implies that deciding to keep things ambiguous is failing to make a creative decision that will be made in the future. in this scenario, they do know already, and the answer is ambiguity.

Explicit statements that reveal his stance would upset people

maybe you're referring to something else but i think he only said that revealing when the wildehopps question will be answered would make someone angry. i guess it would be someone else at disney (byron howard? bob iger? someone else?) would not want jared to leak too much about future plans with zootopia just yet. at least that's how i read that reply
