Insufficient Proof

There's no system foolproof enough to defeat a sufficiently great fool.

The Burden of Proof

A fact is a simple statement that everyone believes. 
It is innocent, unless found guilty. 
A hypothesis is a novel suggestion that no one wants to believe. 
It is guilty, until found effective.
