A logical fallacy that occurs when an arguer demands a specific type of evidence and disregards all other evidence, regardless of quality or quantity, for vice of not having met some arbitrary standard.
example:
"The defendant clearly murdered Mr. Johnson. His fingerprints are on the murder weapon, he was photographed murdering the victim, and we have 17 eyewitness testimonies confirming that the defendant committed the crime."
"There is no video evidence of my client murdering the defendant, therefore there is no evidence to suggest that he murdered Mr. Johnson."
