None of your sources are studies with a strong causal link between flossing and dental health. People who floss do have other good dental habits, so there's definitely a correlation that exists. And remember, I'm making no claims either way, I'm specifically stating the current scientific evidence. I personally floss.

My motto is you only have to floss the teeth you want to keep
