About

Evidenced truth (aka "most-likely truth" or "best-informed-guess truth") is that set of hypotheses about objective truth which is best supported by the best currently-available evidence.

Evidenced truth inevitably changes over time, as new discoveries reveal flaws (most often exceptions and edge-cases) in our pre-existing hypotheses. If our reasoning and evidence-gathering processes are good, though, the evidenced truth will grow incrementally closer to the objective truth as the body of evidence refining our conclusions increases.
