Would you know or be able to provide evidence that it hasn't been used? Probably not.

  You're asking if I can prove a negative? No, I cannot. I think that dolphins are actually secret arsonists who set fire to oil rigs. Prove me wrong.

    1. Oil rig fires actually occur with the same frequency in water without dolphins (making data up to go along with your example). 2. I can not see what motive dolphins could have for torching oil rigs (usg has a motive) 3. I don't think they are able to do it, we have never seen evidence them being able to harness the power of fire. (usg has access to 0days) 4. Dolpins have no record of performing other crimes or acts of sabotage before (usg has)

      1. Doesn't prove anything. Correlation != causation. 2. Because they like fire. Prove me wrong. 3.Just because you haven't seen it doesn't mean it doesn't happen. They've had a lot of time to figure it out (they don't even have jobs) 4. They're clever animals. How can you say they wouldn't? ...to be more serious about it, I was using an extreme example to make a point. It is next to impossible to prove that someone has never done something, so when you start arguing on a basis like that you just descend into an abyss of unanswerable mess.
