Burden of proof

Burden of Proof is an informal fallacy in which the burden of proof is placed on the wrong side. When two parties are in a discussion and one makes a claim that the other disputes, the one who makes the claim typically has a burden of proof to justify or substantiate that claim especially when it challenges a perceived status quo.
