That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed
without evidence. -Christopher Hitchens

Christopher should have added, "except when the lack of evidence is
evidence in itself".

I don't think he'd be that irrational.

Don't be absurd -- lack of evidence is often enough to make a case eg,
if your very favourite net stalker doesn't reply to something you've
written, you know he's got a bad hangover.

How would you know that if someone is offline they have a hangover? You
would just be jumping to false conclusions, as people can have several
reasons for being offline. You're just showing you're not a very good at
thinking again.

A crank on magnetism has a crazy notion that he can cure the
sick and crippled with his magnetic hands. His victims are the
weak-minded, ignorant and superstitious, those foolish people
who have been sick for years and have become tired of the regular
physician and want health by the short-cut method...he has
certainly profited by the ignorance of his victims.His increase
in business shows what can be done in Davenport, even by a
quack. The Davenport Leader on D.D. Palmer, the founder of
Chiropractic

Alternatively his therapy really does work and the allopaths are too
dumbed-down to work it out.

Chiropractic does have a limited effectiveness when it comes to lower
back pain, that's been demonstrated. But it is ineffective when it comes
to anything else - and that has been demonstrated as well.

Don't you get tired of these allopaths who constantly call anybody
"weak-mind, ignorant and superstitious" because they can't work out
homeopathy?

There's nothing to "work out about homeopathy" - apart from that it
doesn't work, and that's already been done.
