Technical and scientific discussion of amps, cables and other topics.

You'll have to come up with something more specific.

I can quite understand why you don't want to. I have shown that we do not in fact hold the negative universal propositions you have proposed, and since we do not hold them, there is no need for us to defend them.

I have also pointed out that it is more difficult to prove a negative than to prove a positive. I gave an example where a finite search could indeed prove a negative, but a positive could be more easily established. However, one cannot absolutely prove the null hypothesis with statistics; and indeed, positive statistical results are not absolute proof, either, just probabilities.

So, you are not only demanding that we prove the null hypothesis, but you demand we do so when we do not in fact assert it!
