First, the different meanings of the word «evidence» are defined from an epistemological viewpoint and the judicial use is discussed of common sense generalizations and logical and scientific laws; consequently, the genus «evidence in a broad sense» is subcategorized into the species «evidence in a narrow sense» and «circumstantial evidence». It is then explained how proofs are obtained following a positive assessment of the sources, modes and inferences in the passage from the item of evidence to its outcome. However, since all proofs employ common sense generalizations, but only a few use logical or non-probabilistic scientific laws, to speak of «circumstantial proof» is either oxymoronic or redundant.
