Evidence smaller than a human brain can process - where counting it as evidence would cause a brain to overestimate the evidence's value - seems like it would be a case where it's practical to consider it absolutely zero evidence.
Yes, I agree with this. I'd count it as "so negligible as to be beneath bothering to waste a neuron on it" :)
The evidence here isn't actually negligible, I don't think. It's just that the posterior probability is negligible.
