A quack will often reply that his ideas have evidence, just not the kind accepted by "science."
Reminds me of the time a man came into our exploration office with a briefcase full of *gold* cobbles (they actually looked like river rock painted with gold spray paint) and told us his rocks were 25% gold.
When I asked him for some assay results, he told me that no lab in town had been able to measure any gold, but he is able to recover the gold by using a very special assaying method - the oldest scam in the books - and if we were willing to lease his property, he would fill us in on his secret.
Uh huh....
