By stating that ashes on a person’s forehead is evidence that one went to Ash Wednesday mass is coming to a conclusion based on an observation. If a fireman has ashes on his forehead, does that mean he went to Ash Wednesday Mass?

Here’s the difference between a fact and evidence.

It is a fact that I opined that you were being condescending. it is a fact that you responded that I wondered why you were being condescending. I can use that fact as evidence that you were being condescending.

Thanks for the discussion.

I'm being condescending because there is no evidence (there's that word, again) in the article that the prosecutor did anything but attend Ash Wednesday services during his lunch break, much less a building on fire. Get a grip.
