You're missing the point. You made an unsubstantiated claim, and then you demanded an argument that it's impossible for your unsubstantiated claim to be true. I agree with the reply that this is a totally unreasonable demand.

The burden of proof is on you to provide evidence for your unsubstantiated claim. The burden is not on everyone else to disprove it.

It doesn’t matter who anyone believes the burden falls on… that’s my point.

Edit: If there’s no desire to write anything, there’s no force chaining your hands to the keyboard… and even if there was, no other user is obligated to do this or that.
