However, AniDB also considers the practicality of finding this level of evidence; we recognize that fansubs are generally not well documented, and that this is especially true as the fansubs in question become more obscure or go further back in time. To remedy this issue, as a general rule, we apply a lower bar of evidence for older fansubs; "the preponderance of the evidence", e.g. "more likely than not" (i.e. 51%+ probability) is sufficient to prove that the change is valid -- this is comparable to the level of evidence required to prove a civil claim in a common law system. | However, AniDB also considers the practicality of finding this level of evidence; we recognize that fansubs are generally not well documented, and that this is especially true as the fansubs in question become more obscure or go further back in time.
