This brings me back to my original musing: is there anything you could find which would convince you there was NOTHING going on? I don’t think so. I think it’s more likely that if you don’t find any evidence, you figure “well, that wasn’t incriminating, but I still think there’s something going on. I’ll keep looking.”

When you look for something long enough, you find it.
