Wait a minute. I thought you've been claiming all along that it isn't "evidence" UNTIL its been PROVEN TRUE in a court of law?
Can you not see that those are the same exact thing? No wonder you have a problem understanding plain English.
No Howlin. They aren't.
EVIDENCE is what is PRESENTED (as your NEW definition and the dictionaries clearly state). Your old definition maintained that it was NOT "evidence" UNTIL it was proven to be true by cross examination. And I notice that you didn't address my statement that you seem to believe we must go to court BEFORE beginning an investigation. That IS why this became an issue in the first place. You don't want an investigation so you kept challenging my use of the words FACT and EVIDENCE in the course of asking for AN INVESTIGATION. I call that MIS-DIRECTION.
