I don't understand. Look, if somebody says "I think your experiment is flawed because the collision entropy of the nouns in the Croatian language is significantly lower than the collision entropy of all the words in the Aspell dictionary.", isn't the burden of proof on him, rather than on me?
Technically, you're absolutely right about the burden of proof. But, whether someone is willing to shoulder that burden is reliant on several factors. Maybe they just don't care enough about the topic. Perhaps they're being disingenuous. Or maybe, just maybe, they can see a real fault in your argument, but you don't generate enough "give a shit" in them to get them to prove it.
