Yes I ignored your dodge.
What evidence besides empirical evidence would you be prepared to accept?
As I've said earlier, your willingness to open the field to include non empirical evidence is a smokescreen. You have no idea what that means, you're just using it as a get out clause.
Still I see you refuse to do any leg work. I guess you're just not interested in anything but your own ideas.
As far as I know, only empirical evidence seems powerful enough to derive knowledge from. Do you have any other method I don't know of that you believe I should trust?
