This is a naive view of the burden of proof. The reality is that anyone that actually cares already knows the situation: we are waiting on reproductions. This Tweet pretty clearly implies that there’s been some sort of new insight. That’s the obvious and intended plain language effect it’s having. Ham-fistedly applying “burden of proof!” Is just being tone deaf.
- ajross 3y ago> The reality is that anyone that actually cares already knows the situation: we are waiting on reproductions. No, the reality is we're not getting reproductions. You're doing the same thing the upthread poster is and demanding that in the absence of evidence, we believe the most interesting assertion. But no, that's not how it works, and that's what the tweet is trying to tell you. It only seems "tone deaf" if you're invested in the argument.
