More proof that there was never a treasure
Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence, as the old saying goes. Continuing failure might tilt the likelihood as time goes on but it doesn't prove it. And since it's quite possible there was a treasure but it got found already, and maybe long ago, it does even less to prove there "never was" one.
It raises an interesting point, though: who has the higher burden of proof? I say it's the cynics, because unless and until EVERY cubic meter of earth on that island is sifted and accounted for, down and through the bedrock several hundred feet to accommodate for the "solution channel" effects, the believers in treasure can still say "they just missed it by this much and it could still be there" and they'll be technically correct.
If you'd couch your opinions in less dramatically certain terms I'd have way more respect for them.
