Idiot. Evidence is evidence. We have been using evidence since before we were human. Some kinds of evidence we chose to evaluate differently than others and the way we do this changes over time. Now a better way is to look at authority/experience interplay and way people balance that. Science socially comes up with some authority because of our experience with the expertness we get from controlled experiments as in physics.
Kiddie, when I was young I was hand coding in assembler matrices of partial differential equations and the hot item was that we had some math to tell us when the rounding error made the results garbage. We still do not have that one really solved at LHC.
Tell me again about evidence being evidence.
