A: Eat more soybeans.
B: what are the benefits of eating it?
A: Er ... Tell me, what's the harm of eating it?
There's no harm in it.
A: Then eat more!
This kind of dialogue is often encountered in life, and sometimes I am speechless when I talk about it. I feel something is wrong, but I can't say it.
Today, I saw a concept called "burden of proof", which is about a legal principle: whoever advocates gives evidence.
If this principle is used to analyze this kind of dialogue, it will not be so easy to be brought into the ditch.
In the above dialogue, the magic weapon for A to win is to leave the burden of proof to B.
It is A who advocates eating more soybeans, so according to the "burden of proof", he has the responsibility to explain the benefits of eating soybeans clearly to convince B.
But A put the blame on B, and let B prove that there is no harm in eating soybeans.
Even if B thinks that "there is no harm in this matter", it cannot prove that "it is good".
Dialogue, a is to use this means to let b accept his point of view:
A claim-ask B to give evidence.
So what else should we pay attention to about the burden of proof?
1, proving that the difficulty is not equal.
According to an argument, the difficulty of proof is influenced by the ability of witnesses, and different people have different professional backgrounds and knowledge reserves. For example, medical experts can give more evidence against viruses than ordinary people. If the party with the advantage of proof evades the burden of proof, the argument will fall into sophistry and cannot continue.
2. The difficulty of proof is also influenced by the general cognitive level of the present society.
If people want to believe that the earth is round before 2000, they may risk being burned to death, but this argument is easy to prove today. Anyone can find a large number of photos taken by satellites from the Internet.
3. Pay attention to the logical loophole of "either one or the other" in the process of proof.
One thing is wrong, but it doesn't mean it is right. Many phenomena in life can't be explained without causality, but they can't be simply summed up.
If the "burden of proof" is clearly defined, the thinking will not be so easily biased.
Today, I received a sample book printed by Tiger Cai Yun, and the effect was very good.
If you want to use your articles or collected materials as books, you can consider the platform printed by Tiger Cai Yun.
The quality of a large printing house starts with a book, orders online by self-help, simply arranges the next edition with Word, calculates the number of pages, uploads directly, selects the paper and format according to the demand, and has no special needs by default.
The cover can be designed and uploaded by yourself, or it can be modified directly with the template there, printed and delivered by express delivery.
The price is cheaper than that of the print shop. The key is that the binding and texture are better than those of the print shop.
If you are making a sample book, you usually charge one book and make two; The selected internal information is a book. I just printed an e-book there, about 250 pages, and chose Internal Information. The price is less than 16 yuan, which is good and cheap.
Today is 27/30 days of continuous writing. Good Night!
