If that's the case, I'm sure that you wouldn't mind removing the qr skewer from a bike with downwards pointing dropouts and a front disc brake and then going for a ride, make sure to get some speed up and apply plenty of force to the front brake.
Don't forget to video it too.
* If you're silly enough to do this, I take no responsibility for the outcome.
Doesn't take a potato to see the dropout and brake mounting stud would interfere if they're on the same side.
If I do it, then you'll come back and say remove the QR all the way, then I'll come back again, and round in circles with excuses.
BTW, still waiting on those cases and citations.

The wheel came out because she had discs and hit the brakes (what we're discussing)?
Or the wheel came out because she hit a bump, the fork blades split open without QR tension, and the wheel unweighted?
I've had a buddy do a front wheelie at the trailhead and his front wheel fell out because he didn't tighten the skewer...but that's irrelevant to this disc claim.
