That's no more absurd than the claim that the order in which the parts of the body are patted down is SSI (and I've heard that claim), but anybody who's patted down or observes a pat-down can clearly see what the order is.

Off topic, but on some file systems, a delete is a modification of the directory above it, so you can tell that way. But this was a formating of the device. There's a possibility that the creation date and time of the directory might point to when it was formatted. Did you make a bit-for-bit copy of the card before running your software?

Partly, but there's also the legal issue of validating the document that was presented by the defense. Were he to say that was the same document, it could have been presented as evidence.
