alt Hacker News>I doubt you even took the time to read the investigation done by The Guardian.
It did not address your claim at all.

No, that is not how the burden of proof works. It is not in the context of all things said in all time. You said it was false in this conversation, you support that assertion.
>You have made zero attempt to support yours.
I don't have a claim.
You don't seem to understand the terms I'm using here so this is probably not productive to continue.
You're just being silly.
If someone makes a claim like "Mongolia just killed 562 students", we shouldn't be asking the person who points out that number is baseless to prove that it's baseless. We should ask the initial person to back up their claim.
