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