If I could clarify what I meant. It's not about what the standard of reasonable evidence is, but how it is handled. I think it is unreasonable to be expected to hit an ever moving an illdefined target. I don't think that reason and logic are subjective, nor that they only apply to common occurances. I'm open to discussing where the bar is set, but I think it should be able to be applied to all arguments, not just some.
It is the extraordinary claims that set up the ever moving and illdefined target. It's not the fault of those who disbelieve it that the claimant cannot hit the mark.
