Rumsfeld: the absence of evidence is not evidence of absence

2 year gap totalling 25k missing serial numbers in sequence between 1999 and 2001. note how sloppy all the redactions have been, how much exposure the network is getting, in the documents that they have been releasing, but this looks like just a block redaction

what happened in that 2 year span y'all i can't remember for the life of me

if you really want the reddit /r/conspiracy link i lifted this screengrab from you can hound me for slop in the comments

EDIT: welp, it's reddit epsteinvestigator ai slop, per LeninsBeard's comment below yes-honey-left

The source for this is a person asking Google Gemini to verify the existence of a "1991-2001 canyon":

I started exploring just using jmail, and when I wanted to find the other 'edge' of what looked like missing data I switched to Claude and then Gemini. I asked Gemini to write a prompt to get anyone into a conversation about it and explore it because it does need validation. Gemini also generated the widget that I screenshotted for the image. Here's the prompt:

Role: Act as a Forensic Data Auditor specialized in the 2026 EFTA (Epstein Files) Disclosure Act repository.

Objective: Verify the "1999-2001 Canyon" by auditing the following specific data points:

Serial Discontinuity (Dataset 9): Search for the numerical jump in the Master Index (Load File) between serial number EFTA00045000 and EFTA00070000. Confirm if these 25,000 placeholders are missing from the public-facing repository.

Bates Stamping Audit (Dataset 3): Search the Financial/Deutsche Bank exhibits for a hard break in the sequence starting at DB-SDNY-027018.

Chrono-Density Check: Analyze the metadata for files dated 1995–1998 in Dataset 3. Confirm if these are digital/rendered ledger lines, and if so, evaluate the DOJ’s claim that files from the same era in Dataset 9 were "too legacy/analog to render."

Page Count Discrepancy: Cross-reference the DOJ Report to Congress (Feb 2026) claim of ~6.1 million pages against the current total of rendered pages (~3.5 million).

Output: Provide a technical breakdown of whether these gaps correlate to the 1999–2001 chronological window and if the "Canyon" is a verified forensic reality.

what the fuck?

they presented the bar chart as though it was actual counts from some kind of algorithmic analysis, not the output of the plagiarism machine

Lol of course it's the laziest shit ever. Why am I even surprised. Doesn't even know if the data is in the context, not that that would amount to serious data analysis.

Edit: the fact that this is presented with this might be slop but as a professional data analyst you can trust my instincts really should get them somehow permanently branded as unserious and unreliable.

Yeah it's unfortunate. The reality is it will probably be weeks at least before we have a good analysis of the dataset.
