Burden of Proof

The obligation to provide evidence rests with the person making the claim - not with the person questioning it.

An argument that uses its own conclusion as one of its premises - going round in circles without proving anything.

Presenting only two options when more exist - forcing a choice between extremes and ignoring everything in between.

Changing the criteria for proof or success after they've been met - ensuring that no evidence is ever good enough.
