Could you explain this a bit more? It’s very shorthand, and hard to know what you are doing and what you are asking us. I think I have a lot of comments, but for most of them I worry I might be missing the point.
E.g., a math proof is something different than scientific evidence, and it generally applies in different domains. If I have confidence in the proof itself (i.e., proof not in error), that would make any other evidence moot. However, in most relevant cases the ‘math proof’ is a proof of something that is only a very simplified model of the question at hand.
