I read your article about partial empty box (socialengineers.net/2020/09/the-partial-method.html) and you mentioned that multiple items could be empty boxed.

I didn't state multiple Items can be "empty boxed".

What's the difference there?

You're referring to two different methods - partial & EB, that's the difference.

How about saying the package only came with protective padding and using the protective padding to fake the weight? I think there's a chance that a packager accidentally only filled the box with protective padding.

As said, not for every Item.

Think about It logically for a minute. What are the chances the warehouse forgot to pick, pack and dispatch an order only containing  3 different Items? Moreover, why would they pack It with protective padding when there's no reason to - especially with goods that're well packed to begin with, and not susceptible to damage/breakage during transit?

What if I used the protective padding method for only 1 item that weighs over 120 g? Every time I buy electronics, it always comes with protecting padding. It's just the standard, at least in Australia. There are definitely goods that need it like RAM and SSD where the manufacture box provides no protection. The logic for the box being filled with only protective padding would be the same as empty box. It's just a question of whether the protective padding can be used to justify the weight. I don't expect to be able to justify a large weight like 2 kg but for something like 300 g it could work. My only concern would be that the package weight equals the items weight when they check their records, and it might be too unusual for the protective padding to match it exactly, or is there enough inaccuracy on the scale and variation in weight for them to be unable to pinpoint a weight?
