A reasonable excuse to leave, it's certain Shinra wouldn't do a thing to try to fix the problem. One more failed experiment to be discarded, though the loss of so many defecting SOLDIERs with him would have surely been a problem.
This person was, or should be, or would be, someone he thought of as a friend. He didn't feel anything about someone he didn't know, but it would be good information later. If that ever changed. "Did he ever succeed in ... fixing it, that you know of?"
None of it seemed like a lie to him. Zack seemed to be doing his best to answer his questions, even if everything he wanted to know he was sure now wouldn't be possible through this particular person's recollection. "And I am, at that time, content to let him and the rest simply leave. Possibly because of LOVELESS' abilities to transcend reason when quoted often enough."
Later on, when he could review all of this, he could allow himself to let emotion bleed into any of it. That he might actually have associates, equals, people who weren't merely subordinates would be a wonderful thing, if he dwelled on it. Now was not the time.
