GDO under prueba:

2 (Derecho) (cosa, argumento): retiraron la acusación por falta de pruebas the charge was withdrawn owing to lack of evidence; no hay pruebas de que eso sea verdad there's no proof that that's true; tendrá que presentar pruebas de ello he will have to provide evidence to prove it, he'll have to prove it; esta nueva prueba this new (piece of) evidence; esto es prueba concluyente de que nos mintió this is conclusive proof that he lied to us; a las pruebas me remito this/that proves it. :)

Perikles, could it be extended to mean in addition It goes without saying or even The proof is in the pudding?

I think it's more related to the second, as the saying in Spanish means that someone is sure they can prove what they're stating, even if it's not so obvious for the other person(s). :thinking:

So it's like "...and I can prove it," or "...and the proof is staring us in the face."
By the way, I should have quoted the entire saying as The proof of the pudding is in the eating - sorry!
