    You are seem to disagree with yourself… On the one hand you say I should ask them to make a case for their argument, but on the other I’m not allowed to ask for evidence.

    But instead I need to provide a proof for… them not providing proof that their argument is not a non-sequitur? Did I get that right?

      You did not, points for effort though.

      I’ll try to make it simpler.

      Ask for proof of claim they have made - YES 👍

      Ask for proof to dispute/disprove claim you have made - NO 👎

      if you suggest something is a fallacy , that’s a claim you have made.
