    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

      I love Hitchens’ Razor: What can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence.

      The burden of proof regarding a claim lies with the one who makes the claim.

      If unmet, no argument is required to dismiss it.

        Sounds right to me.

          That might be the best Twitter thread ever.

              As I was posting this, I thought, "What's the difference between a "razor" and an aphorism?"
