Evidence

A real entity is an entity to which, on the occasion and for the purpose of discourse, existence is really meant to be ascribed. … Faculties, powers of the mind, dispositions: all these are unreal; all these are but so many fictitious entities. — Jeremy Bentham, The Panopticon Writings, 364
