As noted by jimrandomh, saying ‘credible evidence’ does make an effort to differentiate between different sorts of evidence. If your claim was simply that reading something was not evidence, then you should not have to qualify the word when you use it now. I imagine for those of us who seem to be disagreeing with you, we would agree that that does not constitute ‘credible evidence’ for some values of ‘credible’.
That’s really clever. I always thought that “credible evidence” was a bit redundant actually. I just used as a figure of speech without thinking about, but according to my definition of evidence that it has to be credible is pretty much implicit. It has been made abundantly clear to me, however, that this community’s definition differs substantially, so that’s the definition I will use when posting here going forward.
