Dismissing Everitt branches by saying "there is no evidence," is totally off base. There's a mountain of math that practically demands that it's true.

Theory != Evidence

"Evidence" is by definition empirical; it's generally described as 'the result of empirical observation' or something substantially similar.

It's more of a gradient, not a strict inequality; cf. argument from parsimony, inference vs. deduction.
