I agree with you on the first part, but you can't expect a businessman to think about what hands can call his shove when he's holding an overfull.
Also it's quite official that he had the straight flush isn't it?
The fact that he didn't show, combined with
"
He added that Morgan seemed visibly upset after the hand, giving more validity to the fold."
and
"
We also asked [de Wolfe] if Morgan said anything to imply that he had the straight flush. “He did say a few things that led me to believe that he had it,” De Wolfe said."
As for your fun facts, here's another Galfond quote : "“It very well could've been a good fold,” Galfond said. “It's hard to pick up stone cold reads only after two hours, but there are very few value hands that make sense on the river. As far as full houses {K-}{K-} is very unlikely cause you'd expect a raise pre, so maybe {j-}{j-}. I don't think I have it in me to fold quads, but I think it was a good fold.”
