All that aside, I believe the Ethiopian deposit is real based on the rough I have handled and how geochemically distinct the GIA found it to be. Plus there's the tiny-to-insignificant find in Japan.
I was just going by this line from the linked do ument, "Drs. George Rossman (2009) and Adolf Peretti (Fontaine et al., 2010) were previously on record as believing the Tibetan deposit was salted. Now they have changed their opinions. Who got to them?" But at this point I'll bet he's sick to death of being asked about this stuff, so I will probably just let it lie.

I read the same, and thought the same. But the words at the end of "Who got to them" made me think someone really didn't know what they were really implying.
They knew what they were implying--the point I suspect was to directly address claims that had already been made about the character or motivations of various people involved.
