The question is argumentative. Evidence does not apply.
Evidence doesn't speak to matters of law. It speaks to matters of fact. Youre asking for evidence where evidence is not relevant.
Matters of law are controlled (as i explained elsewhere itt) by stare decisis and judicial decision (established by argumentation, not by evidence). Are you asking for an explanation of the origins of english common law and stare decisis?
It seems kind of pointless, because then youll say 'well, you cant prove that applies'. My kid brother and I used to play the same game when i was 7. He would say something, and i would say "prove it" then he would say something to prove it, and i would say 'prove it', then he would say something to prove it, and i would say 'prove it'.
Its a compelling argument. To a five-year-old.
