but by telling them that you simply have to look for the cues from the hypothetical event that didn’t leave any.

And my point is that the DID leave a clue that a binary search would pick up on, the disappearance of the bike.

But it didn't, because if it did then it would fall under the second paragraph of their comment, where they said that binary search would be useful. The comment isn't just talking about bike thefts.
