One thing thats worth noting, granted ive been out for almost 10 years, For Bidens inauguration, they were wearing the cold weather over coat which rank and medals do not go on. The officers i believe have their rank on the shoulders, but the rank for enlisted on the arm by where the bicep would be is absent as its supposed to be.
This is the one thing that stuck in my mind, the cold weather coats that obscured any medals, patches, ranks, etc. I watched the Trump inauguration over for comparison and they weren't wearing cold-weather coats. BUT, the weather was actually colder the day Trump was inaugurated than the day Biden was installed.
2021 Joseph R. Biden 42ºF Mostly cloudy and brisk. Winds gusting around 28 MPH at noon. Snow flurries around 11am, but over before swearing in ceremony.
2017 Donald J. Trump 48ºF Cloudy. Sprinkles at swearing in ceremony; light rain at start of parade. S winds around 5 mph.
Technically true lower temp. However higher winds can really affect how you perceive the weather which is why the news tends to have a "feels like" temp. Snow vs. sprinkles. 28 MPH vs 5 MPH. I've never dug into inauguration personally.

Now thats an observation.
Depends on how you see it tho.

Yeah, IIRC I also based it on attendees' clothing and layers

Plausible deniability.
