Illustrating the burden of proof - pay me!

The word demonstrate denotes a skill that not everyone has learned. Even scientists, writers, and lawyers go to school to learn how to demonstrate things in their niche.

But I agree with your premise; that's why conversation is important. Because our ideas only take form when we send them out into the world to die—that's how we make stolen ideas our own.

The burden of proof prevents this. It forces you to isolate your ideas until the other party proves theirs, and if they don't know how to do that then the conversation dies instead of the ideas.
