Your own argument comes from "I think this is fairly evident" (at the top of your post). How is that different from ignorance?

That statement is a follow up to my earlier argument (in the GP comment) which includes substance. But saying "I have never seen evidence so there must not be evidence" is a clear logical fallacy.
I think this is fairly evident, yes.

Well it certainly suggests something should be done. Tearing it all down seems like a straw man though. Certain aspects of it should certainly be torn down.

I do think it's very funny when people use their own ignorance as evidence for an argument.
