Argument from silence

I have been thinking about the argument from silence in reference to
the problem of why the Romans/Jews did not just simply produce Jesus's
dead body.  

The problem with this is that it seems that sometimes the errantists
also argues from silence.  An example of this is the Josephus
reference.  The errantist claims that no one references the Josephus
quote until the fourth century.  So Polycarp doesn't mention it,
Origin doesn't mention it, and so forth.  This also seems to me to
be an argument from silence.  Perhaps these guys simply didn't notice
what Josephus said.

Anyway, just my thoughts.
