You seem to have a clear and precise idea of what evidence is.
Just so the rest of us can understand you, what exactly must something be to be considered evidence?
These days you can watch real court testimony on YouTube. Lots of authorities give testimony and this is considered evidence in the trial. Then the jury has to weigh the evidence.
Are you using a different definition than the court system?
