Yeah the causal model here is extremely implausible to me. I’m not saying fraud or falsified evidence is rare in charities, on balance I expect it to be slightly higher than numbers I’ve seen of the economy as a whole (3-5%). But the specific causal model of (summarizing)
charity was reviewed-> charity gets sent evidence from the review → charity hides the evidence that was previously on the public internet → they were successful in doing so
just seems extremely implausible to me.
Not just that, I expect charities to have a lot to lose just from the fight alone, for better or worse. Getting into fights about your integrity generally has negative effects on your reputation and fundraising capacity.
