Collection 3.1

Who Has to Prove What

In any disagreement, someone has to provide the evidence. Figuring out who - and how much - is half the work.

What to Notice

  • Understand burden of proof
  • Recognize insufficient evidence
  • Identify hasty generalizations
  • Evaluate sample quality
  • Recognize when criteria for proof are being changed after being met
  • Detect when group definitions are shifted to exclude counterexamples
