I think meta-evidence is involved. There is a lot of evidence that theories that involve supernatural causal mechanisms are unnecessary.

what is meta-evidence?
[/ QUOTE ]
Evidence for a theory about theories. Is what I'm getting at clear?

Not quite. Realising that one or both theories contain something unnecessary is not evidence that the theory is wrong.
Are you getting at Ockhams razor and is this realisation what you mean by meta-evidence?
