Only disagreeing that that "dead weight" even needed to be brought up.

No, no, I implicitly trust all communications from corporate authority figures, of course.

I think it's relevant in a discussion of why a firing occurred. (And that overall discussion has a lot of upvote weight.)

That's a total deflection. Lack of trust does not let you figure out if any particular statement is true or not. Even dumber than blind trust is to assume everything a corporation ever says is a lie.
So is it your evaluation of the situation that this particular statement is a lie?
I never said that statement was a lie (your word not mine); I have no reason to take their claims at face value either.
So by all means, let's continue talking about how much those loser dead weights who got fired must have sucked.
But corporations are usually very reticent to say negative things about people, so for them to specifically call these people out as bad employees at least makes it plausibly true.
Why do you say that? Of course there are (were?) bad employees. If they did indeed fire the worst performers, some of them were quite likely bad employees.

Also plausible that it's misdirection or that they're assholes. =)
