The courtroom analogy fits perfectly. Judging the defendant not guilty based on the lack of evidence doesn't necessitate that somebody else did it. That might follow but it's a completely separate case, which needs to be assessed on its own terms. We cannot say that just because Fred is found not guilty that means Barney must automatically be guilty, even if they are the only suspects. So a dismissal of such evidence as is presented is not a leap to the contrapositive.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
