Actually, the example you gave accepted the burden of proof.......
Quote:both parties present their ideas and evidencesIf my idea is that you have not presented your evidence, and my evidence for this the fact that instead of presenting eidence, you have made a claim and then said "prove me wrong" - then I can simply say "you have shifted the burden of proof", you have appealed to (what you hope to be) my ignorance, my inability to prove you wrong......you get why this is a no-no, yes (I hope so, because it's already been explained)?

b: The burden of proof is not an axiom, it is a description of a type of statement that often involves a logical fallacy
A: There is no proof that there is a burden of proof, the burden of proof is an axiom
b: ad naus.
Terms like burden of proof, or ad naus, they're just shorthand. Generally, they help to avoid a novel length discussion about why ay given line of argument is (or might be) invalid.
