No one on Yahoo Answers has seen the shirt I am wearing today, therefore I must not be wearing a shirt.
(Just in case someone says I am employing a Straw Man argument, look here:
'The burden of proof is almost always on the person trying to prove that something DOES exist.
'For example, if I say that I have a Babe Ruth rookie card, the obvious response is "Show it to me." If I don't show you the card, it's assumed that I was lying.'
Personally, if a person claims to have a Babe Ruth rookie card, and I don't see the card, I CAN'T validly conclude he was lying. He may have been lying, but the evidence is NOT sufficient to show that. Why?)
