Thanks Vaniver. Doesn't your example shows something unsatisfactory about the High Probability interpretation also? Given that P(A or ~A|My socks are white)>1/2, that my socks are white would also count as evidence that A or ~A. Your point seems to suggest that there must be something having to do with content in common between the evidence and the hypothesis.
