So if it's not extraordinary it's still going to require evidence, which without peer review we still pretty much have none.

This is evidence, but it requires corroboration from other evidence. Peer review doesn't provide additional evidence - it's just a sober second opinion that lends credence (or not) to the proposed evidence and interpretation.

Just wanted to clarify the language here.

Totally right - and thank you for the clarification in language.
