The purpose of evaluating the evidence of a claim is to determine if the evidence supports that claim. It is not about whether the evidence feels right or matches the opinions of others, but rather if the evidence is valid, reliable, and relevant to support the claim being made. The popularity of the evidence is not relevant to its evaluation.
