As you point out

most likely the former not the latter. So focus on the actual issue.

No it isn’t........they’ll tell us in 2 weeks.
I’m sure you’d accept that data from up to October when some countries hadn’t opened their schools (and indeed, some states in the US still haven’t) has severe limitations.

You can’t really say there’s limited evidence for something when for the period in question (March to September in England) they were closed.

A similar study, selectively choosing March to July, would be able to say there’s no evidence of transmission in pubs.

And others will misrepresent your argument for one they want to be having, rather than the point you actually made because of the inadequacies of their case.
