    The sense I meant it is "no obvious place to rest the claim [...]" should be replaced with "indication [...] is not the case."

    It's poorly worded. I almost changed it days ago, but no one was calling me out on it, so I guessed that it wasn't as misleading as I was reading it.

    The metaphor of a claim resting on a foundation of evidence is pretty standard, no? But yeah, I suppose I could have been a lot clearer.

    Your wording was fine. It was mine that I was criticizing.
