No, Mazzy, they also found those spindle neurons in other cetaceans, such as dolphins (toothed whales).
Publishing their verifiable data together with their conclusions is the opposite of hand waving it away.
From your first source:

Spindle neurons were also found in the same location in toothed whales with the largest brains, which suggests that they may be related to brain size.
That certainly is not hand waving it away. It’s trying to find out what the similarities are to be able to provide a logical explanation.
Creationists have the problem here: Why do some members of the same kind have those neural spindles, while other members of the same kind don’t? Did the ‘cdesigner’ forget to create those spindles in some members of the same ‘kind’, but remembered to do it in other members of that kind?
Researchers are trying to explain reality by studying the empirical evidence, derive some logical conclusions about the evidence and publishing it all (verifiable evidence, conclusions, etc., the works) in scientific papers for everyone to read. It’s part and parcel of what's called the scientific method.
Those researchers don’t claim to know it all. That’s why they do research in attempts to increase knowledge on the subject and therefore they are called researchers.
If they thought knew it all, they wouldn’t be called researchers, but something else, something like "creationists".
The fact that life evolves is verifiable. You ignoring reality won’t change it. The Theory of Evolution is just as established in science as the Atom Theory and the Gravity Theory. You trying to hand wave facts away won’t alter reality.
