A fallacy where someone demands "evidence" in a way that assumes only certain kinds of evidence count, or where "evidence" is invoked as a magic word that ends discussion without specifying what evidence, from where, or why it's convincing. Often used to dismiss personal [experience], [testimonial] [knowledge], or qualitative research: "That's just anecdotal—where's the real evidence?" The fallacy lies in treating "evidence" as a unitary thing rather than a spectrum, and in using the demand for evidence as a way to dismiss rather than inquire.
