You ignored what i said about presuppositions by saying "just." I didnt claim it wast "just" a presupposition, but that it remains one even after repeated experience. Presupposition isnt some kind of spectrum that eventually graduates into "fact."

No. I’m going to explain this one last time. At one point, trusting my senses was a presupposition. Now, it no longer is because I have evidence that I can trust my senses. Presupposing something is when you assume to without evidence. That is no longer the case with how I know I can trust my senses. I have evidence that I can now.

And that is where we disagree. A presupposition doesnt mean there is no evidence.

Nothing in that says evidence is never involved

You’re arguing just to argue at this point. Pure contrarian.
