You have the burden of proof entirely backwards...

I think the wrong burdens of proof are being used. "Reasonable suspicion" should be used for investigations.

  • What is it with the deluge of people on HN that suddenly don't believe in evidence-based reasoning?

    • You've confused 'evidence' with 'proof'.

      There's way, way more than enough evidence to require investigation. Which could then possibly lead to a standard of proof...

      If tptb investigated. Which they haven't, despite all the evidence.

      ... Which is its own kind of proof.
