I think in science you cannot "prove a negative" because you cannot observe all the events in the system (the universe).
But if you can observe all events in a system (Amazons data access logs) I think you can "prove a negative" by proving that the data was not accessed.

- justsomeuser 6y agoAgreed, once data passes via human-human communication its not possible to observe 100%.
- steffan 6y agoI think it's a logical fallacy to assume you can "observe all events" in any non-trivial system, particularly where there are humans on the edges.
