YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

I've been called out, repeatedly, for my position that claims aren't evidence. So it's time to clear up what I mean, and why.

In short, claims can contain evidence but they aren't evidence for what they're claiming. "I saw x happen" isn't evidence for x happening...because I could be lying or incorrect. It's the claim's consistency with the facts of reality that matter and it's the facts of reality, not the mere claim, that counts as evidence FOR the claim.
