Street Epistemology - Practice

[Abaddon_ire]

I have a cat (or possibly, my cat owns me). Do you take me at my word or not?

I have a cat as well.... but I'm am more interested in you answering the questions please. 
How do you justify moving the goal posts? 

Personally my position is that the difference in belief, comes not because there is more reason to do so (what we are talking about is considering the same reasons); but, because we are more willing to take it on faith (or make assumptions).  I believe that reasons and logic should be held consistently, and equally.   Would you agree?

OK we agree it is a trivial assertion.

What if I were to claim that I had an invisible dragon in my garage? Would you simply accept that as easily? Or would you have some very pointed questions about such an assertion?

"How do you justify moving the goal posts?"
I am not. I am demonstrating the point that the nature of the claim will set the evidential bar required.

"Personally my position is that the difference in belief, comes not because there is more reason to do so (what we are talking about is considering the same reasons); but, because we are more willing to take it on faith (or make assumptions).  I believe that reasons and logic should be held consistently, and equally.   Would you agree?" 

No. If that were true, you should give my garage dragon equal credibility with my cat. I bet you do not do so. Or perhaps you do for all I know.
