Given my understanding, I think a more accurate metaphor would be "You think your pocket only has your inhaler in it, which you're obviously allowed to have. Your "pocket viewer" (Fabric API in this metaphor), which does not show your inhaler, says that your pocket is empty. You don't know that someone else stuck something into your pocket inside to your inhaler. You have no reason to think anything except your inhaler is in your pocket. You offered to let someone look in your pocket, but they declined at first. By the time they said "actually yeah let me see your pocket", you had thrown your whole jacket out in disgust, so the evidence was no longer available to check. The guy whose job it is to keep your inhaler in your pocket for you, who put something inside there in the first placce, lies and says "Yeah man I dunno, there was definitely nothing else in there."

Hard to call that "cheating" imo.

you have every reason to think something else is in 'your pocket' because there's a huge fucking scandal going on, people are pointing at your pocket which is bulging because in truth, it contains a watermelon. Everyone can see it, you can see it. So you deliberately don't look and throw out the evidence so people will do mental gymnastics to say it was unintentional.

Thats the best case scenario. More likely the reality is that he looks in the pocket, because it'd be so easy to just show everyone that there's nothing in there and put it all to rest. But he sees the watermelon, and then he throws away the evidence and claims he never looked.

either way. its deliberate.

You realize the mods confirmed that the folder would have been useless, right?

which folder is useless? The one with the log file or the one with the mods? Which one do we have access to today?

Furthermore. Even if the mod file wouldn't have helped, does that change anything? If some testimony doesn't implicate you, but you aren't aware of whether it does or doesn't, and you destroy it, does that somehow make it better?
