Can you prove without any doubt that they weren't?

Players have the right to feel a bit mislead. Yoshi knew what question was really being asked even if the exact wording wasn't used in asking. Playing "dumb" to hide information from players at that time was just a way to sidestep the upcoming anger from players around the world, not just NA players. Yoshi is not stupid, far from it. But he needs to choose which questions he answers in a way to postpone potential backlash from the community.
