Yes, they're establi****ng that there's a real earth for the Galactica to
find. If they wanted us to know to trust Kara, all it would have taken was
one brief shot of her and the viper in that system. Instead, we have
photos
taken from the gun camera of a suspect viper.

The fact they didn't show it means that the viewer is supposed to be in
the
same place skeptically as the fleet is. When we are supposed to know that
Kara is telling the truth (or not), it will be revealed unequivocally.

Sure it does, see above.

Yep, it could be, as the fleet thinks, that she was replaced by a Cylon
fake, carrying exactly the evidence that they so badly want to see, right?

She may not have visited anything at all, and herself be a construct.
That's what they're trying to imply. *
