But it's completely unamazing how many people will interpret "evidence" as "strong enough evidence to be worth taking notice of", because that is how the word is actually used outside circumscribed mathematical contexts.
Right, and in fact the very idea of "extremely weak evidence" is really only worth paying attention to because it resolves various seeming paradoxes of evidence, such as the extrasolar planets and raven problems above.
