none of our ICBMs are "steerable" after launch.

Of course they have no guidance system whatever. So you say.

No he said 'steerable after launch' this is quite different

If that were true, they would obviously go straight up and fall back
near the launcher, give or take the earths rotation.The heading is
vertical as they leave the silo. The current guidence systems may need
new software to be retargetable, but that is not what you said.

Actually its precisely what he said

Having spent a long three-hour session with some Rocketdyne people
back when explaining "post boost phase" I believe the MIRVs can be
steerable to an extent and MaRVs are the ones that are meant to be
steered.
