Isn’t this exactly what was said in Hug The Query? I’m not sure I understand why you were down voted.
“Belief is not suitable as any kind of evidence when more-direct evidence is available …” is more like ‘You Can Only Ever Hug The Query By Yourself’.
Caledonian was a well-known LW troll who would frequently make vague, unreadable, critical, somewhat hostile remarks.
So it’s guilt by association.
I’d call it ad hominem
