Unspecified Evidence  From Iron Chariots Wiki (Redirected from
Inspecific Proof) Jump to: navigation, search  Unspecified
evidence is an argument supported by the claim that evidence
exists, but where such evidence is not presented.  This argument
is stated as, "there is a lot of proof, but I can't be bothered
to show you" or, "there is so much proof that if it is not
obvious to you then you must be willfully ignorant of it."  In
itself, withholding the evidence that would support a claim is
not a fallacy, but expecting someone to accept that claim based
on such unspecified evidence is an appeal to authority.  When
they make the claim, and then fail to meet the burden of proof,
their claim can be logically dismissed until sufficient evidence
is offered up to validate the claim in question.  Personal tools
