Original Note:
Notes saying “no evidence” are confusing absence of evidence with evidence of absence. Such appeals to ignorance are a type of logical fallacy - the burden of proof is on Community Notes to produce evidence to the contrary. Without this, a note is only speculation. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evidence_of_absence https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argument_from_ignorance
