Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence!

That depends on if you would expect evidence or not. If I go to the beach and there's no evidence of whales, that doesn't mean there's no whales in the ocean. But, If there's no evidence of an elephant in my living room then that's pretty good evidence there's no elephant in my living room.

Is it though? When is the last time you thoroughly checked your living room for elephants

The house hippos tend to keep the elephants at bay
