But that's the point that i'm trying to get to; forget all this burden of proof as before it can be used we need to prove the party that has the burden of proof or have an authority define who is have the burden of proof. I say as you do except instead of using the word axiom I would substitute "burden of proof" and say go on make your point; have your opinion and back it up with whatever you want, and you are free to to use whatever evidence you want and I am free to believe it or not based on the complex processes that I as a human being, evaluate any claim made. But while people keep raising this burden of proof we cant move onto that basis.

True but there is no proof that that,s the only way it can work as I have shown one example already.
