Just as an aside Syndicate, I suddenly find the phrase “burden of proof” odd yet revealing. It’s like, outside of a courtroom or perhaps a scientific discipline, why would anyone want to burden themselves with proving something to someone else? I have had experiences that could be considered psychic and it would certainly feel burdensome (hard, arduous, heavy feeling) to then have to prove to someone else that I saw/felt/heard what I saw/felt/heard. That’s probably why I don’t bother with taking that kind of a burden on my shoulders. I’m too lazy and life’s too short!
