   I do nothing of the sort. I simply use the normal definition of   
   evidence, as I have told you repeatedly, so you should bloodywell know   
   by now!

   Lets suppose that we want to discuss the existence of your dogheads.   
   What are we going to say we will do? will we say.. "Let's discuss the   
   reports of/about, the sightings of, any testimony about, the writings   
   about, any documents relating to, the oral tradition about, any known   
   interactions with, any artifacts of, the habitats of, and anything else   
   we can think of relating to, the dogheads." of course not! we would   
   simply say "Let's examine the EVIDENCE for the dogheads" which would   
   encompass all of that! duh!
