Evidence for or against bias on a particular axis is something that tends to indicate the presence or absence of differential treatment basis on that axis.

Facts which do not provide a basis for comparisons of how different values on that axis are treated are not much evidence for or against bias, this include facts about outcome (e.g., all the people I hired are black, etc.) without additional information from which the expected outcome in the absence of bias can be inferred.

I don't think such statements are totally worthless, but I do see where you are coming from now. Thank you.
