If, after I have pointed this out, you offer me some sugar cookies containing 1 molecule of sucrose, and then defend yourself by saying that according to my definition, they are indeed sugary, you are being obnoxious. I already told you how to quantify sugariness, and you ignored it for rhetorical reasons.
No, I’m not being obnoxious. I’m pointing out that your definition is bad by showing that it leads directly to common and absurd conclusions.
By Eliezer’s definition, even the thing he offers as an example of a thing that isn’t evidence IS STILL EVIDENCE. And instead of you recognizing that this means something is deeply wrong with the definition, you try to exploit the ambiguity of language to defend the utterly absurd result.
