English term or phrase: It just goes to show.
This is a training video, teaching staff about how important it is to keep personal and professional data safe.

Paragraph:
He knows how serious the theft of his tablet could be. And he never lends it to any of his friends. It just goes to show!

This is not the usual meaning of the expression "It just goes to show.".

Any help will be very much appreciated.

Como é natural / Como é óbvio


Explanation:
A minha interpretação pessoal (uma vez que não existe mais contexto, como disse a Ana) é a seguinte: Se ele sabe as como o roubo do tablet poderia comprometer a segurança doa dados, obviamente/naturalmente que nem aos amigos o empresta.

A phrase used to say that: this recent fact or result confirms what we always thought.

Ou seja, era o que todos já esperávamos / imaginávamos.

Por isso a sugestão:
