Right, sorry. You say (presumably jokingly) that there's no "legitimate" evidence for your mortality, but surely the fact that you're human and humans have been known to die eventually is probabilistic evidence that you are mortal. I was trying to hint at this by indicating that there were hidden assumptions in the word legitimate, but on reflection I might have been misusing/overloading the taboo terminology. Do downvote the grandparent.
