19. True, but if it is such a wondercure, then it should merit attention.
What you're getting at is the difficulty of proving every little assumption wrong, not proving that it is right.

It's like a courtroom, one must prove that someone is guilty, not prove they are innocent.

I could say that the pink monkeys who fly out of my ass at midnight can cure cancer, but the burden of proof is on me, the person claiming that, to prove my claim, not on someone else to disprove it.
