BOP

                                   January  6, 2011

  On the "burden of proof".

  Who gets the BOP is
  always the question.             If you flip the BOP to
                                   a Christian, they
                                   block it with their
                                   faith shield.


            The usual assertion is that
            "the burden of proof rests       And no, I don't believe that
            with the side making the         anyone ever suggests that this
            assertion."                      assertion about assertions
                                             needs to be proven.
            That's an implicit
            endorsement of the
            status quo, a set of
            rules that lets           EXTRAORDINARY_CLAIMS
            conventional beliefs
            win on a tie.


     So, then, who gets
     the BOP is a matter of

         POV

     The familiar always seems
     like "common sense".
