Process gap: Who is the owner of this lax terminology, claiming that evidence 'creates' an equivalence? Evidence establishes or validates a preexisting relationship, it does not give rise to it, that would be a category error.
This distinction is imperative for governance of models, where the validity of foundations is paramount, for example, in the evaluation of financial assets for banks.
Accepting that evidence can 'create' a relationship would open the door to subjective interpretations, undermining financial stability.
We demand precise documentation and language that reflects the reality of processes, not desires.
