Interesting example. The evidence for "Mike's" name was the event of him saying it, because a person knows their own name. Perhaps Mike was lying, but a polite person would not assume, accuse, or even ask — unless they are given evidence that taints the person's character or reputation. Basically, lying complicates the burden of proof.

@Matthias true. Claims about personal thought or state of mind can also be seen as both claim and evidence about the claim, like in "I feel sad" or "I think corduroy pants offend God".
