The whole point is having something alluded to that cannot be proven in the case of the Saville case we learned proof or evidence was ALWAYS lacking.
Which is a bit like knowing bears defacate in the woods but since no one is filming it or able to document it means it can be argued they don't defacate at all, not in the woods or anywhere.
I make NO ACCUSATIONS I simply want to attain what the motive is for the duo's clear focus on children (minors) which is replete with adult themes mixed in (sex, satanism, pornography)...or what that adds to the otherwise musical listening experience?
Can you answer that?

I haven't listened to Boards of Canada, apart from maybe hearing one or two tracks on radio, I have to say that themes of satanisn or of anything illegal are a turnoff for me no natter who sings about them - but that's very different from accusing the artist of indulging in same, or even of encouraging it.
What disturbs me is this: you seem to be saying that the presence or absence of evidence is of no great importance. That would be news to most judges and lawyers. I reject that totally. I think you would reject it too if someone who for some reason doesn't like you decided to give you a hard time by broadcasting their opinion on the internet that Thomas4 is interested in child pornography or cannibalism or some other illegal activity.
The bear analogy is silly. Maybe we don't have photographic evidence that a particular bear defaecates in the woods, but observation of animals over the centuries have established with reasonable certainty that they all do something that can be called defaecation. More to the point, no one is accusing the bear of any crime and suggesting it be punished for it.
Next up: what is to be done about the penchant for serial killing held by such artists as Steven Wilson and Sufjan Stevens. We know they do this, because they have written songs about serial killers.
