I hate to burst some people's bubbles, but White Hats would absolutely never confirm devolution.
Why? Same reason Trump doesn't say he's Q+, same reason Trump had to pretend to be pro Ukraine, same reason Trump had to pretend Jeff Sessions was a traitor. It's an operation.

White Hats weren't going to fully give control to the DS, only enough control so The Great Awakening could move forward IMO.

Kash saying OFF to devolution doesn't disprove it in any way.
Optics means shaping the narrative.
