As ever, a great read from DynoMight! I particularly enjoy the assertion on the burden of proof being on the expert to show the flaw in a simpler proof (that disagrees?) with their own more complex one.
### Highlights
> If two people disagree, it should be the responsibility Dr. Fancy to explain whats wrong with Dr. Simple, not the reverse.

> “_onus probandi incumbit Bob_”?
“The burden of proof is on Bob”
