A bias that treats Western evidentiary hierarchies—privileging quantitative over qualitative, experimental over observational, published over experiential—as neutral, universal, and the only legitimate ways to know. The Bias of Neutral and Impartial Evidence ignores that what counts as evidence is shaped by power, that different domains require different kinds of evidence, and that Western evidence standards have been used to exclude marginalized knowers. It presents "evidence" as a pure category, erasing its politics. Those with this bias don't see their evidentiary standards as one tradition; they see them as evidence itself. Everyone else has anecdotes, stories, or bias.
"That's just anecdotal, not real evidence." Bias of Neutral and Impartial Evidence: treating quantitative data as the only evidence, dismissing experience, testimony, and qualitative research. The speaker never considered that for some questions, anecdotes are the only evidence available. Their evidence was just evidence; everything else was nothing."

Get the Bias of Neutral and Impartial Evidence mug.And everything to do with you trying to make a fuck point. Stop doing this. This is so fucking stupid.
Hym "It has nothing to do with a lack of evidence and everything to do with you trying to male me ask for help instead of allowing this to work the way I want to to. I know now that I'm being watched and, therefore, know you have enough evidence to do something about it so stop doing this and start doing that. I'm not walking back everything I've ever said in exchange for my stolen ideas or doing my own investigation. Stop trying to make the last 10 years of my life a waste of time over what I said. I can't get my time back but I could have, in fact, stopped you kids from dying there if you would have let me and no that is not invalidated by the fact that I'm entirely ambivalent about whether or not they do. I don't have to apologize. I don't have to ask. You don't need to 'win' this for you kids you need to stop waiting for me to do something else because you are not going to get a 'something else' that isn't THE SAME EXACT THING you have been getting in response to the weaponized schizophrenia when you do it to other people. You are being a fucking moron."

Get the Evidencify mug.exidence is inexplicable. Its creation is shrouded in mystery. Ambiguous in its meaning, esoteric in its usage - exidence is not a word used by the masses in the vernacular. Lo! exidence is not a word; nay, it is not a vernacular tool for common folk. It is a perplexing concept. It is the seed of euphoria. Once rooted into one's soul, the host is at once elevated to a state of gaiety.

Get the exidence mug.Glaringly-obvious proof that is so easy to observe that even a clueless "thickhead" should be able to notice it.
In Edgar Allen Poe's "The Purloined Letter", Monsieur Dupin is able to locate the stolen missive quite easily in the Minister's study, even though the Prefect and his men had twice minutely searched said room, yet never noticed said evidense that was right out in plain view.
