Already have, ffs...you responded to it.
The OP asks a question, leveraging terminology that indicates a request for a logical answer as to the relationship between truth, claims, and evidence. Truth being the product of valid arguments supplied with sound propositions...the requirement of evidence in generating a sound proposition means that claims demand evidence in order to be assessed for and as truth. As to whether or not this is taken solely by definition..or if in fact there is evidence for -this- claim, it is both taken as a matter of definition -and- well evidenced....as the provision of valid arguments in the absence of sound propositions or with unsound propositions yields conclusions whose truth values cannot be ascertained, or even untrue conclusions. Neither the system nor it;s requirements arose in a vacuum.
Whatevs managed to distill it into a single line of brilliance. Do claims demand evidence? Evidently, yes.
