I would like to think it is something overlooked at what was dropped so far. However, I go by what will changes by knowing this missing information. All you get would be to know something that you will know later on unless you are terminal or some secret info that will never be released. Q could easily point out what post(s) to focus in on to prompt or coax out a hint without crossing the line into illegality, but does not. Therefore, I am tempted to think it is something else, or even something to worry the opposition, which is very clear a strategy used often. What other repeated lines gave fruit and what was the pattern might help.
Be careful though not to put "these people are stupid" and "think mirror" right next to each other…
