Yeah, but only if you have the resources to convert that weak evidence to strong! Which most people don't!

Also such information could be dangerous to have if its its not widely shared. But if it's widely shared then it can't be expensive.

Most investigations start with only a suspicion, based on weak evidence. But that tells you where to look for harder evidence. So weak evidence is in practice very important.
