That is not how the burden of proof works. You have the burden to demonstrate your extraordinary claim of security adequate to stop the NSA, a claim that flies in the face of the overwhelming prevailing trend of insecurity both in the industry and Apple in particular.
Your claim has been made without evidence. It can be dismissed without evidence. And that is ignoring the fact that it is a claim actually made against the evidence, both ambient and particular.
And no, Apple marketing does not qualify as evidence. You need a competent, unbiased, third-party with demonstrated discriminatory power to support such a claim.
Without access to source code this security white papers are equivalent to marketing papers.
