First you say you uncovered evidence, now you say “likely”.

Weasel words.

Actually, it’s semantics. “Evidence” is not “proof.”

I am assuming that some documents are so vital and important that their location is tracked. (I will admit that I’ve never worked in a situation where such a process exists. I do, however, believe that this is a distinct possibility.)

So (hypothetically), if NARA has a record of the existence of a particular document, and then they find that they don’t HAVE the document, they can look at the tracking. If the tracking shows that the document was taken by a particular person, that would be “evidence” that said person has the document.

If the document is found in said person’s possession, that is “proof.”
