    Proven fake? Definitely not.

    Thats not how the burden of proof works. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

      • Ad Ignorantiam fallacy states otherwise.

      • “Fake” is itself an assertion requiring evidence, independent from stating neutrality, e.g., “We don’t know whether it is true or not.”

      • Also, circular-reasoning fallacy: Who says they’re extraordinary claims within the context of what we already know?
