Well, I don't know about that. I'm not making that claim.
I'm saying that when you're trying to be an evidentialist, what you're really basing your beliefs on is your beliefs about evidence, not necessarily on the evidence itself.
Ah I see what you're saying. Do you see this as a problem? As in does this mean the choices we make are plausibly poorly informed? When the light is green at the intersection is there reason to believe it's not my turn to cross?
