We all now know that the hole in the top is normal. What would have been abnormal is if there were no hole in the top.
No matter what Buting believed about the blood vial, he is stating in that scene that it is not going to matter like he thought was going to be due to the testing to be done to show the blood was not the same.
You forget that no one knew this at the time they watched, except for people who actually worked with those vials and oski (as he remembers it at least).
Without knowing the hole was normal, the vial was infinitely more suspicious.
Without knowing the evidence seal on the box was broken legally in a meeting with Steven's old lawyers, the box was infinitely more suspicious.
You even stated yourself after initially watching, "I am also very troubled by the blood sample having been tampered with."
This whole debate was originally about how MaM was deceptive in its representation of these items. Oski argued it wasn't because, as he stated:

This scene doesn't exist, but it helped support oski's argument at the time. Since this false statement has been disproved, oski's argument pretty much falls flat.
