isn't the lack of a denial in this instance tantamount to
an admission? I mean, if it were me, [...] responded to

There's a british general who goes by Mike Jackson when his real name is Michael Jackson [1]. If someone asked him to moonwalk I'd expect the resigned frustration of someone who has heard that lame joke a thousand times before - rather than him denying having heard of the pop singer of the same name.
