I think suggestion is a very important concept to the definition of
"evidence".  A fact F is evidence for hypothesis H if it suggests that H is
true.

hypothesis: "all human beings enjoy cheese"
The fact that "I like cheese" suggests that the hypothesis is true (albeit
it is a weak suggestion)
The fact that "my entire family likes cheese" suggests that the hypothesis
is true (better)
The fact that "my grandpa does not like cheese" does NOT suggest that the
hypothesis is true therefore it is *counter*-evidence

Evidence compounds upon itself to make the suggestion stronger and stronger
that the hypothesis is true.
