I don't know about armadillos and biscuits. How about a straight answer? If someone says I have sexually assaulted women is that evidence that he has sexually assaulted women? Not conclusive proof, but evidence?
It is not in itself evidence but it can indicate that something will need closer investigation.
"There is an elephant in my kitchen" is an anecdote that would require backing up. going there and finding an elephant sized hole in the wall, elephant dung on the floor and most damningly, foot prints in the margarine, would be evidence.
If that weren't true, then any 3 of my ex girlfriends could get together, make up a rape story, and watch the police march me to prison.
And, to be truthful, that HAS happened these days: girl accuses boy, boy gets thrown out of school without evidence or even a chance to explain or defend himself.
