And what exactly is the unit of measure of evidence that I am expressing a quantity of?

Whatever the author provides as evidence - is evidence. That is not up to you - you are not in control of the quantitative aspect of somebody else's position. You can provide your opinion - that is the qualitative aspect. Based on your qualitative judgment you can claim you feel the evidence is not evidence at all - this is still a qualitative judgment - you can not change the quantitative aspect unless you rewrite the article.

So you can't tell me how much evidence there is? That's probably because there isn't any. That's what we call a "clue".
