I am confused. So if you DON'T "encounter the thing in a way that is overwhelming evidence for its existence" then you have evidence against its existence?
That doesn't seem reasonable to me.
Under the technical definition of "evidence", yes. In practice, it's a question of how likely you would be to have seen one by now if they were real.
