If they wanted to leak they'd just tell it to a random blogger and see what the reactions are.
But surely the production version would make those new data visible, rather than have them hidden in the code? Not to mention that they would fix the mistake quickly.
Sure they could've told a random blogger about it and in my presumed scenario they did. But that blogger needs to have some pseudo source for their information - which is where the nonsensical hidden data in the code come in
