Is the statement "Claims demand evidence" always true?

-and just to head you off...it doesn't matter...-it doesn't matter- which one of us is using the "right" truth, or if either of us are, or if "tuth is dependant on context"...it will still be what it is, it will still be an equivocation, and so no possible basis for us to determine anything about what were discussing...rationally.  You have fucking, torpedoed, us, my friend.

Where have I ever objected to truth or "truth"? Truth means a claim is in accord with reality. Does that definition work for you? I have to be honest, I may have comprehension problems or something, because I don't really know what you're trying to say right now.
