Asking "Got evidence for that?" is sufficient refutation for baseless claims.
- closeparen 6y agoMake the opposite of your claim with an alt account. Then challenge it for evidence. Now your position wins by default.
- kardos 6y agoI think this is the part that ain't nobody for time for
- brlewis 6y agoIf nobody's going to answer you, your position wins regardless.
- Buge 6y agoTo prevent a position from winning by default it only requires a very simple reply: ask for evidence.
- Buge 6y agoJust because 1 side doesn't provide evidence doesn't mean the other side is correct. If neither side provides evidence then neither side is necessarily correct. And in the absence of evidence, generally the simplest (common sense) explanation should be presumed most likely (Hanlon's Razor).
