[Francis McClobber]

No need to be condescending, I live in the real world and know how it works. I also understand the difference between facts and evidence.

“Ashes on one’s forehead are evidence that one attended Ash Wednesday mass during one’s lunch break.”

Did the judge question the lawyer on what he did during lunch? If so, then it is evidence that he went to Mass. If not, the fact that he had ashes on his forehead is only evidence that he had ashes on his forehead.

If not, the fact that he had ashes on his forehead is only evidence that he had ashes on his forehead.

And you are wondering why I'm becoming condescending? Poor judge: he walks into an on-going murder trial and has to deal with whether ash is legally ash, a forehead is legally a forehead, and Wednesday is legally Wednesday.

You must be new around here. The "rude 1" knows no other way to be.
