You’re just reversing the burden of proof with more words. The expectation you’re setting up is that we have to refute every single bit of nonsense tossed out; an impossible and exhausting process.
- AnimalMuppet 6y agoI agree that the original claimant has the burden of proof. But this isn't high school debate. The people reading your posts aren't debate judges (for the most part), they're just people. They aren't (for the most part) going to apply strict debate judging rules to the exchange. And if all you say is "is not!", to people reading the exchange, you look like you have no evidence and therefore have fallen back to arguing like a five-year-old. It's not a convincing look, even if you're right, and even if the other side actually has the burden of proof.
