How about this real life example, which CJ already knows about but declared it not to be evidence, but an anecdote. Which is his usual MO -- evidence he is wrong is anecdotal, while evidence he is right is proof.

Liberal news magazine Slate was not paying its interns anything and came under criticism from various blogs. Like here:

Of course, Slate thought nothing of criticizing other organizations for the same practice, accusing them of hypocrisy:

Because it represented the height of hypocrisy, Slate quickly came under pressure to, and did, begin paying its interns. But in the very same announcement there was a "However."

However, instead of 12 interns we'll only being hiring 10.

And there is your evidence.
