Post 99 of this thread defined the level of proof required to successfully conclude an argument in a court of law: a preponderance of evidence. I have used that as a basis to present my arguments. The more witnesses I have, the more preponderance of evidence.
You can't "win" an argument by asserting that a lot of people believe something. Following your logic, magic must exist if a large group of ignorant people watched an illusionist, not knowing how he did it, thus concluding they witnessed witchcraft.
