Don:
Evidence leading to what?
My answer would be that evidence is gathered in design as in science for the purpose of better understanding reality, that is, to bring us closer to the truth. Webster definition 2.a. of "truth" is "the property (as of a statement) of being in accord with fact or reality." Likely this answer is too basic and I'm missing something important you intended.
With this I completely agree:
> Finally, almost all of our most cherished beliefs in design have very
> little evidence behind them, either of support or of an attempt to
> contradict. This holds whether we are talking about the "Golden Rule" or
> the elements of "Human-Centered Design."
Nice to hear from you. Thank you! I hope you and your work are going well.
Best...
