Why are some Deflategate text messages being ignored?

The text messages that were exchanged between two New England Patriots employees are the closest thing to a smoking gun that Ted Wells discovered in his lengthy Deflategate investigation. If those conversations are so important, why are some of the details in the messages being ignored?

A lot of the text messages that officials locker room attendant Jim McNally and equipment assistant John Jastremski sent back and forth are open to interpretation. After extensive research and numerous interviews, Wells felt confident that McNally and Jastremski were discussing the act of illegally letting air out of game balls.

But why has no one mentioned the text messages that reference game balls being inflated to 16 PSI?
