Balance of probabilities.  Your job is to make sure 100% of your sources contain the relevant information to support your position.  For the first 5 to fail this minimum standard, a pattern of irrelevance is established.  Wholesale disregard of the Gish Gallop/unforced chain of errors is understandable.  

Don’t cry about it, be better.  Learn from this and actually live up to your Burden of Proof next time. 

1. You want 100% from me

2. My job??

 

1. That’s what the Burden of Proof requires. 100% of your sources being relevant in substantiating your claims.

2. Yup. It’s your job to provide verifiable evidence for your claims. Failure to do so undermines your position.

That’s just the minimum standard.

Stop crying about it.
