    One can give any reasoning for a belief. For it to be truth one needs real evidence. Like one could say I think he killed a man, he has that look in his eye. But I know he killed a man would require hard evidence.

    So in other words I can go back and add adjectives to my statements like "likely" and "probably" and it makes all of Shippuu's demands for evidence effectively moot even though what I am stating in the sentence doesn't actually change. Nor will I have to actually defend them giving all the arguments on this subject he gave. Correct?
