You are the one who asserted that 600,000 students would walk out.
You are the one who asserted that millions of others would join those students.

It is up to those making assertions to offer some verification when questioned. I work in a formal regulated environment where verification is taken seriously. The means of verification are practically limited to analysis here.

Further, in #13 you imply that Marengo needs to prove that what you asserted didn't happen. You must realize that proving a negative is impossible.

Did countless millions and 600,000 students walk out yesterday as you predicted? If not, exactly... Marengo Mar 2018 #9

I was wrong. It wasn't 600,000 students, it was a 1,000,000 give or take. ffr Mar 2018 #11

i dont see any reference to countless millions in that article, neither is there a source... Marengo Mar 2018 #12

Are you claiming youre not wrong on predicting countless millions would walk out? Marengo Mar 2018 #14

Nice Red Herring fallacy, but please address my previous proposition Post #9 ffr Mar 2018 #15

Ummm, you made the claim countless millions would walk out. Where is the evidence this happened? Marengo Mar 2018 #17

Another Red Herring diversion. Address my proposition in #9. ffr Mar 2018 #18

Ah, so no evidence then. Got it. Marengo Mar 2018 #19

Do you think it's ridiculous of me to ask that you provide basis for your rebuttal? ffr Mar 2018 #30
