I think we agree on the reality of the situation, but I’d rephrase you conclusions as, “Things that don’t seem like strong/fantastic evidence can often be so, due to how evidence can relate and interact with our background knowledge of reality.”
The way you currently phrase your last bullet point could be confusing, because you use the understanding you’ve developed in your post to say that you would be convinced by the previously mentioned evidence, yet you still refer to said evidence as “decent-but-not-fantastic”, which you would only do if you held the naive perspective that you proposed at the beginning of your post.
Mixing the two in one sentence makes things fuzzier and easier to misinterpret.
