Evidence Reasons which may provide enough support to believe that a claim, proposition, hypothesis, etc., is true or acceptable.
Consensus, fact, and research findings: each is a kind of evidence – as are anecdotes, personal experience, testimonials, and case studies – and each is a reason which might be offered in support of a claim or conclusion. Some kinds of evidence are better than others, such as research evidence.
(see also: proof»prove, argument, (hidden) assumptions, establish, support, ground, verification, justification, controversies)
