Is the statement "Claims demand evidence" always true?

We totally do have that problem, actually.

Quote: is their own problem.  I can accept that they're expressing their opinion, but if they want to turn that into a claim that they contend is logically true.....well, they're gonna have to pony up some evidence so that I can assess the soundness of the proposition...and they're going to have to pony up a valid argument....or else they'll just have to be content with me accepting their opinion, as their opinion.

Those goalposts seem to be moving along nicely.  We were talking about all claims demanding evidence, and now we've gone to that claim which "they contend is logically true."
