>[evidences] indicate that the four bolts that prevent upward movement of the MED plug were missing before the MED plug moved upward off the stop pads.

Ok

>Photos from the interior repair that show the lack of bolts

Huh. Well that's conclusive.

Photos may not have been after conclusion of repair so technically not conclusive. However it certainly lines up.

Not the photos but the fact that the bolts are missing and there are are no witness marks indicating they were present when the door ejected.

The report makes it clear that the photo was taken after the rivet rework was complete, immediately before restoration of the interior

Correct, however again the photo doesn't prove that the next step wasn't putting in the locking bolts.

I don't disagree with the conclusion, but the photo merely *supports* the conclusion, rather than proving it.
