Because it's an affirmative claim, genius. Those are the rules, and they
always have been. You can't just pop up, say "this exists because I say
so. Prove me wrong!" and then smugly sit back and expect people to take
you seriously. Are you really that ignorant of the rules of rational
debate?

That is not my burden, and it never has been. However, I am glad that you
have gone so far over the edge as to make this ridiculous demand. It makes
my job here a lot easier.
