OFC, what you're referring to now isn't testimonial "evidence" but the exterior phenomena of many people arriving at the same story...which, itself, would be extraordinarily poor evidence.
Quote:(Can someone 'had' a cheeseburger and 'ate' it too? I guess that's entirely possible using the past tense. Personally, I'm a Chicago-style red hot eater myself, preferably with sport peppers, home-cut fries, and a pint from Half-Acre brewing company.)You can add or subtract anything you like, it won't change what is or is not evident on the basis of the testimony. I personally prefer the Pale Horse Brewing Company of Kentucky.......you know...if such a thing exists. I suppose maybe it becomes evident if I pay two out of three dentists to tell you that they, too...prefer said brewing company...or? What do you think, is it evident that Crest os better than Colgate, or is that vv...I can never remember...which one do two out of three dentists recommend?
Word fail, Neo, word fail......but another wonderful example of someone seeking trivial semantic equivalence, so thanks for that, I guess.
