citing a paper that says it found “no evidence” of something always seems weak to me in terms of refuting something, I also found no evidence by doing nothing, how do I know the thing you checked or the context in which it was checked is any better than my doing nothing?

not finding something doesn’t seem any more or less convincing…

I think it's called "absence of evidence is not evidence of absence" ?

It is, though. What it is not, is proof of absence.
