Carlson Evidence

Shocking or damning evidence that has to the potential to fundamentally affect an outcome, but that the holder can't ever show you.

"He argued he had Carlson evidence proving he did not steal the petty cash from his employer, that he had copies of it, and it would clear his name, but he could never show it to anyone because the only copy was lost."

Meta-Evidence

Evidence about evidence. It's not the data point itself, but information about its reliability, context, and the process that generated it. This includes a study's statistical power, the reputation of the lab, the pre-registration of its hypothesis, and whether the result has been independently replicated. In a world drowning in information, meta-evidence is the life raft—it's how you decide which claims to actually believe when everyone has a graph.

Example: "She didn't just read the headline about coffee curing cancer. She looked at the meta-evidence: sample size (tiny), funding source (The Coffee Alliance of America), and journal prestige (sketchy). The meta-evidence concluded the evidence was garbage."

Meta-Evidence

Evidence about the quality, validity, or interpretation of other evidence. It's the evidence you use to weigh evidence. This includes a study's methodology, the chain of custody for a forensic sample, the calibration records of a sensor, or the historical accuracy of a witness. In a courtroom, the DNA match is evidence; the lab's accreditation and error rate is the meta-evidence. It's the critical layer that separates raw data from a credible claim, and it's where most conspiracy theories and legitimate skepticism violently collide.

Example: "The photo was evidence of the event. The meta-evidence—the JPEG's EXIF data showing it was created two days prior, and the shadow angles being physically impossible—was what proved it was a fake. The evidence lied; the meta-evidence told the truth about the lie."
