If something cannot be settled by experiment or observation, then it is not worthy of debate.

Absence of evidence can easily be an evidence.
For example the absence of all evidence for the Holocaust is an evidence that the Nazis have destroyed all the evidence.

There is no evidence that you are conscious. Therefore you are not conscious and I won't let you push your dumb opinion that you are conscious without evidence. Also there was no evidence of any governmental corruption or conspiracy or conspiracy until there was so in the meantime I keep your dumb opinion about possible corruption and conspiracy to yourself so that there's no need to search for evidence that hasn't been found yet.

you tell him jesus is real. or bigfoot. or the loch ness monster. or ancient astronauts. something he would be unhappy about. we only have an absence of evidence in those cases too.
absence of evidence is evidence of absence if evidence would be expected from the postulated thing.

Absence of evidence IS evidence of absence from a Bayesian perspective on a meta-level.

Ad hominem. Just because he's a soijak doesn't mean he's wrong.

You know what I mean. Like denying government involvement in gamer gate until disclosure of USAID funding proved otherwise. Like denying involvement of intelligence agencies in determining COVID-policy until admitted by politicians. All the while censoring everyone who was right and calling them conspiracy theorists and such.
