Shifting the burden of proof. This is a fifteen yard penalty and a loss of down.
Oh you're playing sports.

So, prove your claim. I'll wait.
If your goal is to "win" something, then you can make declarations about the burden of proof and see what your "opponent" can do.
On the other hand if you're a grown-up interested in figuring things out in good faith, then you can make your best arguments for and against things without pretending it's sports.
If you have some arguments against the design-ability of things in the world, we'd be interested in hearing what you have to say. Snarkiness and pointing to the rulebook don't really help.
