You two are masters of the logical fallacy. The Zen koan ‘if a tree falls in a forest and no one is there did it make a sound?’ is not an intellectual exercise. The only thing either of you has said is that you lack information that you have posited would prove a point if only you had that information.

Only in your case, you’d be asking for proof it didn’t make a noise. lmao

I can see I am not able to convince you.

Closing thought: If a tree fell in downtown Manhattan, would someone hear it?
