Abstract
Shafer [1] defined weights of evidence and the weight of internal conflict for separable support functions. He also formulated a conjecture, the weight-of-conflict conjecture, which implies that these definitions can be extended in a natural way to all support functions. In this paper I show that the extension to support functions can be carried out whether or not the weight-of-conflict conjecture is true.
