Precisely.


Precisely what? I don't see you citing any sources.


No, but you're the one who made the initial claim. Under normal debate rules, you have the burden of proof.


Yeah, I don't even have an opinion on this debate, other than it is a complex subject where people tend to have strong opinions with little to back them up.


This isn't a formal debate, this is a discussion forum. There is no burden of proof here.


Even so, it feels a bit unfair for you to make the initial claim, the other guy disagrees, and then you demand proof from him, when you have supplied none and you went first. Not a formal debate, still not quite cricket, as the Brits would say.
