What if the JS file itself was replaced?

@icebraining, You're right! The file has indeed been changed a lot lately. In fact as can be seen here: http://lerdorf.com/static.log.gz that file has changed in size from: 2602 bytes to 5821 to 1279 all in the space of 25 hours... that is really suspicious
Not some why they think its false positive ... I know server logs don't lie
Err, often they do. Or more correctly, they often don't show something you think they would if it happened.

Logs show a subset of what has happened. There's no way to prove they are showing everything, so there's no way to use them to prove what did not happen.
