That's such a great point.
In other news, I'm going to open a used car dealership next month. You won't see any cars in my lot, but the prices are great. You won't see any evidence that I actually have the car I'm selling you, but if people raise doubts, I'll just say: "Well, you know... evidence as a ontological concept is on such a shaky ground philosophically. Now, when you say 'I don't see any f**ing cars in your lot', what precisely do you mean by "in" anyway. Also, did you know that what you think you "see" is actually just the reality your brain constructs for you? Now give me your money, do you want to buy a car or get a degree in philosophy?".
