No, you've been saying that there is evidence, but that it isn't certain, so it's (apparently?) worthless.
For instance, earlier you said: "The problem is we have no way of knowing, and are being told to draw the conclusions ourselves. It's honestly not about the facts themselves, but the writing. We simply have no way of knowing what happened, we have no firm ground to base our conclusions upon, nothing. "
So there are facts, it's just that they aren't certain. In your opinion.

...How did you get that? What i've been saying is that when all answers are equal, they are all equally worthless. I even say in that quotation that it's not about the facts presented, but our inability to filter good conclusions from bad on the basis of those facts.
Hence the puzzle analogy.
