That's not my point. We all know what constitutes evidence, we all (especially the skeptics among us) decide what is convincing and what is not. We are not told this. One is placed in one or the other of the categories by oneself and by the one with whom one disagrees. The self-placement is always as skeptic. The name-calling is reserved for one's opponent.

And by the way, once one becomes convinced of the veracity of a particular matter, one is no longer a skeptic concerning that matter, by definition, so one must choose a new descriptor.
