The notion of evidence is not unique to positivist/rationalist frameworks.  Indeed positivism insists that evidence be measurable i.e. quantifiable, something not always required in other paradigms.

"The notion of evidence is not unique to positivist/rationalist frameworks."

Indeed (though I wasn't referring to a "positivist" one) and the request for evidence is seen as entirely reasonable in many areas. Cf.  "someone"'s comment for the dangers of not relying on evidence.

Maybe it's because I'm a Londoner - that I moved to Nice.
