EVIDENCE
Evidence needs to be facts that readers will
accept as facts.
If your reader doesnt believe your evidence is a
fact, he/she will consider it only a reason in need
of further evidence to make it believable.
Cite primary sources and scientific research as
much as possible to support your reasons.
Skeptical readers will keep asking questions
about the reliability of your evidence.
