Uh huh. And what do you call drawing naive conclusions from
statistical data? I'd call it confirmation bias!

Chris, here is how debate works:
PersonA asserts X.
PersonB demands evidence for X.
PersonA either provides evidence for X, or X is rejected as

Under no circumstance is PersonB required to prove PersonA'a
assertions. The onerous is on PersonA.
