I've added the "since officially denied" remark to my previous post. We should give the Ethereum team credit for coming clear on this.

@Ursium: many of us understood Charles' statement in the introductory video( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q5FDvzj8YX4 ) from 8:08-8:12 as if he were saying "work". The turned-on captions(cc button) under this Youtube video confirmed our assertion. This GS question hadn't just pop up from nowhere, his statement was interpreted this way. Anyway I'll take Charles's word for it....
