Does it? Remember at a debate forum unsupported assertions are worthless. The burden of proof is upon the claimant.

Well, 10 out of 10 for skepticism, but minus several million for failure to recognize that as a freakin' foundational DEFINITION OF A TERM.

It turns out he was thinking of "c-decay" theories. Would've made him look a lot less stupid if he'd actually said so.
"Remember at a debate forum unsupported assertions are worthless"
Yes but some things qualify as common knowledge. EG. I don't need a source to claim that "WWII ended in 1945" since the vast majority of people on a forum are likely to be aware of this fact.
But wait, you didn't support your assertion that unsupported assertions are worthless. The burden of proof is surely then on you to demonstrate that there are no worthwhile unsupported assertions, right?
Confused?
