Your Definition
The rhetorical equivalent of [moving the goalposts], but specifically about evidence—demanding proof, then when proof is provided, declaring that proof invalid and demanding a different kind of proof, then when that's provided, moving to yet another standard. The evidencepost is that shifting standard of what counts as "real evidence," designed to be [impossible] to satisfy. It starts at "show me a peer-reviewed study," moves to "peer-reviewed studies are biased, show me raw data," then to "data can be [manipulated], show me a real-world example," then to "anecdotes aren't evidence, show me a study." The evidencepost is always just out of reach, because the goal isn't to find truth—it's to never admit you're wrong.
