Interestingly this is an axiom of digital forensics uses in reverse of sort.
In court, digital forensics investigators can attest what was performed on the devices, timeline, details, and such. But, it should never be about a named person. The investigator can never tell who was sitting at the keyboard, pushing the buttons, or if some new and unknown method to implant those actions (or evidence).
It is always jarring to laypeople when they are told by the expert that there is a level of uncertainty, when throughout their lives computers appear very deterministic.
