EVIDENCE DOES NOT DECIDE WHEN IT IS ENOUGH
Institutions can verify provenance, preserve chain of custody, establish completeness, and still fail at the decisive point: determining whether the evidence actually warrants the consequence.
That judgment does not belong to the evidence itself.
A threshold must govern what is sufficient, and legitimate institutional standing must govern who is entitled to apply that threshold.
Without both, "enough” is just an assertion wearing the appearance of rigor.
In my next article, I examine what happens when the authority to judge sufficiency itself changes.
