Of course it proofs nothing. Marquez is known for being an amateur that regularly just suddenly presses the brakes. Combining this with the statements Marquez made immediately after the race (he said Rossi kicked his brake) and the proof of the videos, it is clear that the only reasonable explanation is that Rossi didn't do anything :giggle:
Rossi harmed motorsport, but their fans are literally raping motorsport.
Marquez is known for regularly using his bike as a battering ram (he earned the nickname "Murder Mac" on this very forum). When you lean your bike into another bike, there's a chance a control lever will get pinched during the contact. IMO, it's more likely that Marc's lever got pinched than Rossi landing a perfectly placed "kick" after he felt contact on his leg while looking away and accelerating. Bottom line is that telemetry data does not prove Rossi kicked Marc's lever. I expect Honda to defend their #1 rider, but they shouldn't go so far as to make themselves look stupid in the process.
