calamity,

Evidence, as you put it, visible evidence, from a campfire CAN be obliterated. After a short time, the average person would never know you built a fire there. It's the organic material that you destroy beneath the surface (Up to 9 cu. feet) that can never be brought back.

The idea behind Leave No Trace is to leave no trace at all, not just evidence you can see.
