The difference being a word that typically means remove from power. Not a threat. Any lawyer can get the case dismissed by showing the book with the original words in court and argue it's a natural play on words anyone could come up with.

I was specifically correcting their impression that it was the health insurers' slogan, rather than a reference to the shooting

But since you were also too lazy to read the article, it's what was said next that really contributes to a threat

Near the end of the call, investigators said Boston could be heard stating, “Delay, Deny, Depose. You people are next.”
