None.

Now ask: what evidence do we have that compelling evidence DOES NOT exist on this particular device.

None again! We can conclude nothing either way.

Don't you think they need to make a compelling argument that actual evidence exists and is being denied to them before we all install backdoors?

You put up an argument which you haven't acknowledged was vacuous, and from that extrapolated that I somehow must want backdoors even when I clearly said "Fuck, No" to them in an earlier post[1] which you must have read because you replied to it[2]

Honest question, what am I supposed to make of this?
