No part of it makes any distinction between "providing evidence" or "trestifying".
The word "witness" does. A witness is someone who provides testimony in a legal proceeding. It is not someone who provides non-testimonial evidence relevant to a legal matter.
The way I see it...
...is not the way the law works. Testimony is separate from other kinds of evidence, and the 5th Amendment covers testimony. (The 4th Amendment provides different protections to other kinds of evidence.)
Despite how frequently it occurs, it turns out that your home-grown, intentionally-overbroad, untrained interpretation of the Constitution is not, in fact, a good basis for reasoning about the law.
