Evidencelioning

A variant of sourcelioning and prooflioning applied to empirical evidence. The evidencelioner repeatedly asks for “just one more piece of evidence,” always finding a flaw or requesting a different type. They never accept a satisfied accumulation; they always want “something stronger,” “something more recent,” “something from another field.” Evidencelioning is used to avoid ever conceding a point, while appearing open‑minded. It exploits the fact that evidence is never perfect or complete.

Example: “He demanded evidence for climate change. She gave temperature records. He wanted ‘paleoclimate evidence.’ She gave ice cores. He wanted ‘model predictions.’ She gave GCM outputs. He wanted ‘observations of effects.’ She gave sea‑level rise. Then he asked for ‘direct causation proof.’ Evidencelioning – moving from evidence type to evidence type forever.”
