PO Box Plausible Deniability?

It is oft argued that a PO Box has less plausible deniability than a home address, because home addresses are public knowledge.

Is there any evidence that supports this? I.e. cases in which a PO Box was CD'd and plausible deniability did not hold up in court for defendant for this exclusive reason?

What if one's PO Box address was "public knowledge"? I.e. listed on a personal web site or company web site? Seems like this would increase plausible deniability with a PO Box.

From everything I've seen around here I think the answer is: it doesn't matter what you get in the mail or how much deniability you have (act as if though). You're only gonna get convicted when they find your stash when they raid you.

Any evidence?

It's just speculation. There is none that I know of.

Public knowledge?

It has been said that this gains your plausible deniability back.

No.

Having it public on a web site is probably not going to make any difference. But there is a tiny chance it might help, so why not?
