Yes but this is just one topic. Could you agree that the burden of proof doesn't exempt one to make an argument but obliges him to make it ?

So, if the state claims you committed a murder, do you share an equal burden to prove you're innocent? No, because you're not making the positive claim.

That is exactly what it is.

Apparently neither of you actually understands the burden of proof.
