It is true, there is no evidence that there was a cover-up or scrubbing of the gospels of information. Based on this fact, here is the conclusion that is made:
if they didn't feel free to leave out stuff when it would have been convenient and helpful to do so, is it really plausible to believe that they outright added and fabricated material with no historical basis?
How can you jump from "there is no evidence" to "so because they could have in certain places, in my opinion, they definitely didn't". The correct answer is "we don't know."
One could have just as easily concluded: if they didn't feel free to leave out stuff when it would have been convenient and helpful to do so, it is really plausible that the things they did leave out were even more helpful and convenient to remove than the things which were left in.
