The notion that Kim wouldn’t “lie” because of the legal implications falls apart when it’s realized that Kim (generally) doesn’t lie. He hints at, suggests, implies and most importantly, keeps on trying - all sufficiently buffered, legally, with disclaimers and language that otherwise provides a backdoor exit for any “claims” that do not come to pass. He does what he does BECAUSE he knows the law is on his side - as long as he keeps on trying to produce (even if he doesn’t believe in the likelihood of production success).
