I'm saying by focusing on the irrelevant first aid kit you are playing into the hands of those who seek to discourage the use of private messaging apps.

They didn't dodge anything. They answered your question quite clearly. The answer is context matters. A first aid kit alone is not proof of that. The commentor did not claim that nor did the prosecution of the case. When taken in context with the other evidence and the actual actions they were able to use it as supporting evidence. Now in my opinion their actions were based, but obviously illegal. If I were on the jury I would have let them walk, but that's all beside the point.

Depends on context. Is a fire extinguisher evidence of planned arson? Depends, was it just sitting there on its own or was it found next to a pile of fire accelerant, a box of matches, the blueprints to the nearby currently burning building, and a piece of paper with "Arson Plan" written on the top and "don't forget fire extinguisher, just in case!" scrawled on the side? Obviously this is hyperbole, but I think my point is equally obvious.

I don't think it was a question, really
