You don't need evidence to support a premise.

Their point is measuring gravity's influence on a single particle is not necessarily evidence of the existence of the graviton.

Actually, we do need evidence for premises which are not definitions or basic assumptions (axioms). Graviton is still a hypothetical particle and falls under neither of two categories - Definitions or axioms.
