d gurgled happily, sounding much like they were
saying:

Proof is never absolute.

Total BS.

Being able to discuss, isn't one of your strong points. Note, not a
question.

What should I discuss it? "Proof is never absolute" was such a
ludicrous statement that it wasn't worth wasting time.

OK, great.

So give us an example of _absolute_ proof. Not just "beyond reasonable
doubt", but _absolute_.

Criminal videoed on CCTV committing crime with good view of face along
with corroborating witnesses. For example. Unless you subscribe to the
evil twin argument.

Or doctored video tape. Or several other implausible reasons.

There can _always_ be doubt injected into things. It might not be
_reasonable_ to do so. But it can. Look at the various historical
revisionists/conspiracy-theorists - the moon landings, the holocaust,
9/11.

Anyone who claims thing like the moon landings or the holocaust didn't
happen despite concrete proof to the contrary are just so deluded and/or
retarded that their opinions are essentially irrelevant.

Tough. You're the one who wants the standard moved _past_ REASONABLE
doubt. The only way to do that is for UNREASONABLE doubt to block
conviction.
