I don't recall hearing that term before, and if I did then it never really stuck out for me, but that's a good summation of any situation where someone brings up faulty or just plain ridiculous evidence and expects you to believe it as being true, as if the one who is at fault is YOU for not choosing to believe a ridiculous premise based on ridiculous evidence, rather than the fault being on the person making the sweeping claims. <br /><br />"Burden of belief" as if to say that YOU have an obligation to believe this stuff as true, even if the evidence is not convincing, and if you don't believe it, then it's all your fault. I'm going to steal this term for future writing assignments/real life conversations ;)mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00151721524487034813noreply@blogger.com
