Nope, it doesn't work like that. It's the least parmonious premise that the onus is on.
If I claim that the universe isn't an illusion and we're not in a computer simulation. The burden of proof is not on me. If you claim the universe is an illusion, it's on you.
If you claim to have an imaginary friend who created everything and controls everything.... then the burden of proof is on you. If I claim that such a thing is improbable then that stands to reason to be correct by default until you provide evidence to the contrary. Why? Because of the principle of parsimony. It's the same reason that if you claimed Elvis was still alive and I said "No he isn't" the burden of proof wouldn't be on me but it would be on you. Because you're making a ridiculously unparsimonious suggestion.

It's clearly you who doesn't understand how it works.

Nah, you're just dumb and don't understand the burden of proof.
LOL. I’m loving the audio accompaniment, Hamz. British accents are super awesome. 😎
