What is asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.

Hitchens’s razor, named after writer Christopher Hitchens, sums up the burden of proof: whoever makes a claim has to support it – you don’t have to disprove it.

Useful: Answer bold claims with one question: “How do you know that?”
