? I'm confused... What does my post have to do with placebo? I know the placebo effect and how double blind studies work. But it has little to do with that statement that proving a claim should be the requirement instead of requiring proof of a negative.
If I claim you're an armadillo, proof should be on me to provide evidence of you being an armadillo. You shouldn't have to prove you are not one. Any claim on anything with no evidence to show it is true should be discarded.
It has nothing to do with placebo.
