No that's English, I'm saying you actually said the same thing I said. You're right to raise the challenge that it's ambiguous if it's really a leak or not.
Assuming something might be so means the same as to entertain the possibility. You've not switched from the original premise. It's not the same as assuming something is so.

assume + might means that same as that.
Great for you to have an opinion. That isn't my take on this. I would not assume. I would consider other possibilities.
