But that only works if they understand the burden of proof.
And it's not so much frustration of not being able to prove them wrong(I've pretty much given up on that ever making a difference). It's the frustration of being unable to get them to accept that that is not a proper way to reason.
It's frustrating, but I won't give up my stance on the Burden of Proof just because they don't understand what it entails. Helping others see reason is something I'm fervant about as well. I don't think it's in my nature to give up (though a good break in the middle of a lengthy discussion can regenerate the mind wonderfully).
