Indeed, I don't count unsubstantiated claims as evidence. Neither should you, unless you enjoy being Pascal-mugged.

That doesn't seem to be a response to above. Even in absence of "claims", probabilities should not equal 0. If you have an algorithm for updating probabilities of 0 that plays nice with everything else about probability, I'd be interested to see it.
