(shifting the) Burden of proof (see – onus probandi) – I need not prove my claim, you must prove it is false.
Holder of the burden
When debating any issue, there is an implicit burden of proof on the
person asserting a claim. An argument from
ignorance occurs when either a proposition is assumed to be true
because it has not yet been proved false or a proposition is assumed to be
false because it has not yet been proved true.[1][2] This has the effect of shifting the
burden of proof to the person criticizing the proposition, but is not valid
reasoning.[3]
While certain kinds of arguments, such as logical syllogisms, require mathematical or
strictly logical proofs, the
standard for evidence to meet the burden of proof is usually
determined by context and community standards.[4][5]….There’s

Fallacies -A formal fallacy
is an error in logic that can be seen in the argument's form.[1]All formal fallacies are specific types
of non sequiturs.
· Informal fallacies– arguments that are
fallacious for reasons other than structural (formal) flaws and usually require
examination of the argument's content.[12]
