You're welcome to your own definition of what a warrant canary is and how it should be used but the specifics are defined pretty clearly and leave no room for your particular interpretation. It really would help if everybody would stick to the same definition for important stuff like this.
Where are the specifics defined? What you posted above leaves room for interpretation. You can say "if you don't hear from me in a month, I'm probably dead", and I can indeed assume that if you're gone, but if you return I won't say "sorry, I already assumed you're dead, tough luck".
Similarly, the above defines what the assumption is while the canary is not being updated. Nobody is arguing with that.
But that's not what was said... what was said was: If we do not update this canary file in x days you are to assume that we have received a warrant of sorts that we are not allowed to talk about.
