    If your argument comes down to “you don’t have the evidence to prove a negative” that’s a pretty strong indicator that your argument is weak. People saying something isn’t proof. If one is to make expansive claims there should be evidence to support those claims.

      I dont think what you’re saying is accurate.

      “you don’t have the evidence to prove a negative”

      I dont think im asking for this. The poster I’m responding to is making very specific claims. Very definitively, that Grusch is lying, either for a money grab grift in some form, or due to “pathologies”. For these specifics I would like some evidence, of which there is none.

      If OP would leave it simply at “I don’t believe it because I haven’t seen enough evidence to convince me”, then we would have a lot more in common as I’m in the same boat! I also want to see evidence regardless of which conclusion it leads to.

      However, where we differ might be that given all the current info the public has, there is enough to take it seriously and desire more investigation. There’s too much now to automatically say it’s “absolutely untrue, and all BS and lies.”
