You leave out the possibility that it is both a bug and has always been this way on p99.

Of course it
could have always been broken. If the devs screw up one day and delete one of the bankers in FV it's
possible (though incredibly unlikely) that for nearly a decade we've actually been doing it wrong, because live
could have actually had only one banker.
The question is, do you really want to discourage anyone from reporting the missing banker NPC unless they take the time to research and find absolute proof that there should be two bankers, because it's
possible the devs have been wrong for nearly a decade? I'd argue that it makes no sense to make someone re-research all of the evidence the devs themselves already used when they first added the NPC, just to tell them "hey guys, this NPC that was here isn't anymore."
And again, if you go through the P99 release notes you will see that the devs have put a
lot of effort into sneak mechanics (far more than they did into researching the FV bankers I'm sure). I have no idea if the number of sources they've used to research sneak is in the high tens or the low hundreds, but either way lack of evidence is not the problem. The problem is that the (well-researched/well-sourced with lots of evidence) sneak code seems to suddenly be behaving differently than it used to. Whether it's actually problem or not is something that will take a dev under five minutes to determine, but no amount of evidence will help them.
And the problem that 100% doesn't need to exist, but you're creating, is that people who are trying to help the project by submitting legitimate issues are being discouraged from doing so. I'm sure your intentions are good and you're trying to filter things for the staff, but I don't think you realize the damage you're doing with your "helping".
