You use that expression a lot. How does Bayesian evidence differ from mere evidence?
In a certain sense the 'mere' goes the other way. Bayesian evidence includes things that many are in the habit of declaring 'not evidence'. Anecdotes for example. The color of the speaker's underpants. Just about everything.
I'm pretty sure by "Bayesian evidence" he means rational evidence (which is to say, the set that contains all kinds of evidence), rather than legal evidence (the subset of rational evidence that is admissible in a court of law), scientific evidence (the subset of rational evidence that meets certain publication requirements for scientific journals), etc...
Thanks for reminding me, I intended to take the word Bayesian out because it didn't seem to add much.
