Looks around, but nothing changed noticebly at all.

So attribution is easy and leaves no observable trace, explains nothing and has no predictive or descriptive power whatsoever. QED

Everything changes. Everything is now understood in the light of Garglemoths' involvement.

You're looking for the trace of a trace, when what's in front of your nose is observable and verifiable fact.
