"Data will show" if they had the data, they would have shown it already instead of making false promises about the future.

"The data will show it. We're just not done falsifying it yet."

As a CEO, they should know that the data is pretty much available instantaneously. It's all digital.

Assuming it's truthful, she wouldn't have been able to make the claim without already having the data meaning there is no reason why we'd all need to 'wait and see' especially with something so damaging to the company.

Assuming it's a lie, all she needs to do is make the false claim and hope it leads to good PR before everyone forgets about it and the news cycle moves on. This explains why she'd tell us to wait and see.
