But informally, no one has any requirement to demonstrate anything, unless they want to influence someone else's beliefs. And I know CL doesn't aim to do so
Yep, you are correct. It was evidence for myself only but not something I would ever use to try to prove to anyone else because all they would have was my word.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
