- A course in logic should be required for everyone posting on
- Usenet. *It is up to the person making the positive assertion
- to provide the evidence*. The lack of proof against something
- is not evidence for that thing's existence (for the simple
- reason that there is simultaneously a lack of evidence against
- many, mutually exclusive conclusions in any set of possible
- statements about something. E.g., I do not have evidence that
- the buttons on the uniform of the UFO pilot are not blue. I
- also have no evidence that they are not red. I also have no
- evidence that he (it, they, etc) is/are not naked. Et cetera.)
- This is the most common mistake made in Usenet debates.

-
- This is idiotic. There is positive proof, in the form of well
- designed studies, that tobacco causes cancer and respiratory
- problems. There is no equivalent to this for a "Jewish Mafia".
