No, it does not since this is not how logic and science work. You just stay with a claim that is missing a support but it does not mean that the claim is false.

Alright. Please read https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troy and let me know what is the main thing you are uncomfortable with (if any). If there is a match, then I will provide another example.
- Retric 7y agoYou’re misinterpreting what I said. Invalidating an argument does not mean the conclusion is always false. Otherwise you could prove any theorem A by finding a single contradiction invalidating a poof of !A. PS: Sorry, I can’t help myself... 1 + 1 = 5 therefore P != NP. Wait 1 + 1 = 2 therefore P = NP. Sadly that’s not going to fly.
