Well, it isn't needed, so long as you're okay with fobbing off invalid arguments on your fellow man and then pretending that it's "serious discussion" - a pass time which could easily be construed as insulting to the person you're intent on bullshitting btw-. The burden of proof is required because without ruling out logical fallacies logic cannot be relied upon to return correct conclusions no matter how correct whatever you input might be.
For example.
All humans are mammals
All mammals are warm blooded
Therefore god does not exist.
That would be a non-sequitur, but since you don't seem to think that this is important......you've just been given proof that god doesn't exist.
