I find it really strange to have presumptions in general.
If we're in a court and there hasn't been a decision yet, we're there because we're dealing with some kind of complicated edge case where one person has a strong argument for one thing and another for another.
If one then decides to bring some problem up-- whether with how evidence is being judged or anything else, there can be no justification for ignoring him. This is why I like free evidence evaluation in Swedish courts and the absence of rigid precedent. Every question must then actually be dealt with. We do have this kind of idiotic rulemaking in other parts of our legal system though, so we're not fully free from it.
