How come you need proof and sources when you don't agree with a statement but you don't need proof or source for a statement you do agree with?

    Logic, right? And sources and proof aren't needed either to make those statements. Well, at least some of them. Hmm.

    I do often need reliable proof of what I actually believe else I would consider something a thought subject to change.

    Some things I may not agree with but test to determine the outcome.

    I believe because I already have proof. I need compelling contrary evidence to change my mind.

    Lol, good point! (Oops, I'll need to cite my sources, won't I?)
