Subjective truths that are by their nature matters of opinion or personal inclination, like the fact that I love sushi, yes. Objective facts, like gravity, evolution, and the abject awfulness of Nickelback require evidence.

You know, the funny part is I can't name a single song of theirs, but at this point it's almost a Pavlovian reflex.

Does the fact that you love sushi count as evidence that you love sushi?
