So you do not believe that others' beliefs are evidence?

A belief can be evidence for its stipulated meaning (this holds often), but could also be counterevidence, or irrelevant. What is a belief evidence for? Not at all automatically its stipulated meaning.

Yes, that's the response I was fishing for, so I could spring my trap. But the bait wasn't meant for you, so now I have to make pointless commentary. Alas.

Would it be possible for you to go ahead and spring your trap anyway? I'm very curious what you had in mind.
