Dear ladies and gentlemen, dear colleagues, dear readers,
What is evidence? Evidence conveys to us an objective fact, one bit of reality – it opens for us a window through which we can see a glimpse of the truth concerning a specific question. So evidence is a measure against inaccuracy, misconception, error, bias – at its best it defeats subjectivity, alternative facts, manipulation, vested interests, and lies. Evidence helps us to not readily accept authoritative statements, eminent colleagues‘ opinions, common beliefs, and, generally, things at face value.
