My point is only that you strongly implied a fallacious argument, which damages your ability to reason on a topic.

- read_if_gay_ 6y agoOk, so basically, since we haven’t proven the opposite, we can’t be sure, regardless of how the situation appears. I think that’s a weak argument in a general sense, but point taken.
- jshevek 6y agoNo, I'm not arguing that proof is necessary for certainty. I'm pointing out that the implied reasoning is akin to argument from ignorance. We don't have to take a position on a topic if we are ignorant, but we often do so when doing so can be used to justify existing biases.
