I'm not sure if I can parse the title correctly:

What Evidence Filtered Evidence?

I understand it to mean: "What evidence are you using to filter the evidence". Is that correct?

That isn't correct at all. It's more like, "How should you treat evidence that you know/suspect is filtered?" while the literal title would be "What evidence is filtered evidence?" which is a less clear way of saying the same thing. It probably stems from Robin Hanson's habit of omitting verbs in his post titles, since Eliezer wrote this in the OB days.
