I've never been one of those who object to the usage of "Nihil obstat®" but why are people adding "so far" to the phrase? Isn't it implicitly understood that a review of a transcript does not apply to questions that have not yet been revealed?

The elegance of Nihil obstat® lies in its sophistication and brevity! 8)

Hey! I instituted the phrase, and I can use it any way I choose!
