Already offered.
Conditions above.

Not at all. Read my lips /words as above.

No blame. Just need all the facts.

More input offered as above BUT part of that is reading the whole material.

No?

Your choice.
"Signed" and NDA were  of course figurative constructs.

The point of an NDA is that it offers a mutually tightly agreed to
basis for interaction on a subject.
In this case "public retraction" would probably be in violation of the
depth of NDing desired.

I'm not saying I disagree with the reasonableness of your
understanding - just that it's based on incomplete information which
leads to misleading conclusions. This is not overly important as long
as important future actions and decisions and understandings are not
based on this understanding. As long as sleeping dogs are let lie all
is OK enough.
