I don't have a problem with circumstantial evidence. Circumstantial evidence is not anomaly hunting. They are very different.

Circumstantial evidence is just as important as evidence

You can go even further and say it is evidence which it is.

I learned recently that circumstantial evidence is more expansive than I thought. If you wake up one morning and find snow all over the ground, that is circumstantial evidence it snowed, because you did not witness the fact it was snowing even if you did witness the snow on the ground. So circumstantial evidence can be quite strong evidence. (You could still be wrong to say it snowed. Perhaps they were making a movie on your block and used a snow machine to create snow.)

Back to the main question. The condition of the stickers on this guy's van is not circumstantial evidence that shows if this guy sent the bombs or not.
