You are correct, even if you meant to be trolling. It was never the case that suing required iron clad empirical evidence. Civil cases in the United States use the "preponderance of evidence" standard, not the "iron clad" standard you just made up.

- mfoy_ 9y agoEven criminal cases don't need "iron clad" empirical evidence. Only "beyond a shadow of a reasonable doubt"... so like... 95%-ish.
- openasocket 9y agoNote you need a "preponderance of evidence" to win a suit, not to bring a suit in the first place. Many times the plaintiff doesn't have sufficient evidence for a win when they bring the suit, and get that evidence during the discovery phase, during depositions, subpoenas, etc.
