What utter rubbish! How can you ever prove something doesn't exist, except to first assume that it does, and show that this causes some problem? You certainly can't come to any valid conclusion by assuming that something doesn't exist, and then concluding that any test of its existence would be worthless. Isn't the commonest way to find out if someone is in a room to call out to them? If they answer, then.... If not, well, PERHAPS they aren't there. Perhaps. Charley Wingate
