Todd,

I'm glad you agree. However you've also taken the precarious position that
the positivist demand for evidence is incoherent, so I need to ask on what
grounds you think evidence is something to which we must "pay attention".

If positivism has been "decisively refuted" as you claim, Todd, then why
should anyone care at all about evidence? Why shouldn't we accept all claims
as true without evidence?
