My two paragraphs refer to two different things Eliezer said. The contrast is indicated by the word “but.” Tenoke says that he asserted that, exactly. I assume Eliezer was just lying to get him to shut up.
There are a lot of reasons not to look directly at the database. But once the person wrote an acceptable query years ago, yes, it should be easy to just try it again.

Oh, I see now. But why would Eliezer do that? Makes me worry this is being handled less well than Eliezer’s public statements indicate.
