Extraordinary Claims Require Extraordinary Evidence

[Thumpalumpacus]

That's pretty unrealistic where the real world is concerned, as shown above.

It'd be nice if the real world was that cut-and-dried, but it ain't.

There are a lot of variables, so two instances are never exactly the same.   But I find no problems living in the real world and I am understanding that many things are not about reason.

However, reasoned argumentation in an effort to convince another of a claim you've made does not fall under that rubric of "not about reason."

Now, if you're not worried about changing minds, carry on.

However, I rather cotton to Hitchens's Razor: That which is advanced without evidence may be dismissed without evidence. The unspoken corollary to that is that the evidence should be proportionate to the claim.
