In truth I would go search for you if I believed that for just 1 minute you were serious, but i don't. As far as all this burden of proof rubbish I don't believe its my burden and I suggest the burden of proof is on you to convince me that the burden of proof is mine and I believe like every thread I start that's where we are going with this.
Thank you for playing.
And which ancient historians would they be?
Come now, it can't be that hard to provide a name.
As to burden of proof, it is always incumbent upon the claimant to back up his claim.
As it is in the legal system. If you are on trial for a crime it is upon the prosecutor to prove your guilt. Not you to prove your innocence.
