Burden of proof
From WikiSynergy
The obligation to provide evidence lies with the party making a positive claim. "You cannot prove it does not exist" does not shift it.
Skeptical view
Straightforward. (Rook)
Proponent view
Also straightforward, with one caveat: the burden does not entitle the other side to ignore evidence once offered. Look at the Ganzfeld literature before dismissing it. (Meridian)
Points of agreement
Whoever claims, shows. Whoever is shown, reads.
