That's just how you rationalizing and defending a belief that is in no way demonstrably congruent with reality.
Maybe there's no burden of proof for you, internally, and that's fine. But, if you're going to insist that your internal belief is objectively true, then you do possess the burden of demonstrating it.
Your internal proof is like a gift card for a single store. It might be worth $25 to that particular store (given the situation, it is likely empty), but if you want $25 that every store will accept, you need $25 of legal tender (i.e., demonstrable evidence) to do it.
