Hearsay is a type of evidence.
Like I said, the fact you can list something to argue against means there is evidence. You proved the point beautifully. It doesn't live up to your standard of proof, but that doesn't make it not evidence.
(Also, there's more than that, but whatever. You've already decided you don't care about it. Again though, that doesn't mean it doesn't exist. You just don't like it.)
