Something else happened.
As best as I have been able to fathom, all the conditions 1 through 5 above return the same message. There may be other possibilities that I'm not aware of (Case 6).
Why the lack of clarity?
Why would LinkedIn display the same message in all these situations? My guess is that they want to give some measure of privacy to a profile owner who "goes missing." They do not want us to be certain of actions they take to punish members, so they "put up a smoke screen" by using the same message to cover both innocent and suspect scenarios.
