other

Jiang immediately reopens the phrase 'faith is the evidence of things unseen' as a conceptual problem rather than settling the translation dispute on the spot.

evidence

A student begins to answer that the line means the senses are not trustworthy enough to capture the unseen directly.

normative

Jiang turns the discussion from moral memory to an epistemic challenge: before claiming the brain stores memory, one must show actual evidence for that storage claim rather than assume it.
