Another thought-terminating cliché is "I just believe in the null hypothesis" and "you have burden of proof".
No. You have plenty of beliefs about the nature of the universe, reality, truth, self, etc, and it's your responsibility to inspect and justify them.
I've long noticed how the "burden of proof" is general put upon the minority, with the white, cishet, middle-class Western dude's beliefs held as somehow "default".

@Tattie@eldritch.cafe Even believing in the need to reject the null hypothesis is an unjustified belief.
