How so? It's an article on evidence. All it seems to suggest is that
evidence can be used to back up assertions, not that all assertions must
be backed up by evidence. Assertions are a statement of fact or belief
and can be backed up with evidence. No incompatibility there.
"contradictory assertions"
"To what degree of certitude must the assertion be supported?"
