Add to it that the casual gamer or user doesn't know how to get a torrent makes it even more obvious.
Nevertheless, CA would do good to check the feedback and improve their patch while they're still at it.
Actually those reasonings are evidence for them leaking the patch. They know that only hardcore fans will know about and go to the effort of downloading the torrent and using the patch. This way the perception of CA by the wider audience is not damaged but they still get feedback. It's not an "official" release yet they still requested feedback from those using it. Why do that when by their own words the patch was not ready to be released in the first place?

But yes as someone else said it doesn't matter. The important thing is that they are working on it and Im very happy that the cannon/ballista tower bug is also due to be fixed. As it is, Im enjoying this leaked patch.
