LOL what you call "evidence" some would call redundant arguments of circular reasoning.

If "some" could make an actual case that circular reasoning was truly involved, I would admit that the observations should not count as supporting evidence.

Until then, however, unsupported labeling does not affect the validity of the evidence.

Abraham Lincoln: "If you call a tail a leg, how many legs does a dog have?"

Audience member: "Five."

Lincoln: "No, four. Calling a tail a leg doesn't make it one."

Calling a tail a leg doesn't make it one

Those are the most illuminated words you have said.
