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.
or it could be that i rely on their inteligence to be able to distill what i'm saying and decide for themselves from what i'm saying whats bull shit and whats not.
