I would want to see it in writing. (By your own criterion.)

In the meantime, with a reliable source telling me otherwise, I'm not
inclined to simply run with your assumptions about what R' Elyashiv
would or wouldn't say.

You're also avoiding the primary issue: Your willingness to call a
position with a history running from before the Yalqut to R' Aharon
Kotler some un-Jewish hyper-liberal assimilated PC / Christian value.
