While the path between the ends may not allow Facebook to read the messages, their exclusive control over the endpoints themselves *does* allow them to read the messages. WhatsApp is closed source with frequent updates. Sneaking a message cloning function into one of the updates wouldn’t be hard, and externally auditing every single version to make sure no such function exists is extremely difficult.
So you’re ultimately trusting Facebook’s assertion that they don’t look at messages sent under these specific conditions.
