I identified independent source material to legitimize my 30000+ contention (Pub 78,F990 and attendant analysis) all available under FOIA but you are unable or unwilling to refute said documents.
The Burden of Proof shifted to you and you were unable to counter my assertions of at least 30000 discrete entities
Case closed. the 30000 + plus remains.
Are you an attorney, or do you just like watching TV programs? You are the one who stated the evidence "proved" your opinion, you stated the "probative" evidence was the IRS documents that list 501(3c) entities, you also admitted you had NOT done the work necessary to prove your contention.
One key element for the admission of evidence is whether it proves or helps prove a fact or issue. If so, the evidence is deemed probative. Probative evidence establishes or contributes to proof. (http://legal-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/probative)
The burden of proof was YOURS since you submitted such as your convincing evidence of your statement. You did not prove your assertion and only "guessed", therefore it is your burden, not mine. I also gave you your own words admitting you did not examine the documents, stating "It would take years" to make an educated opinion of such. You make a fool of yourself by standing by a bogus number that you and everyone else should know it is. Here's a deal, you want to insist there are 30k different Protestant denominations, then I will assert there are 8000 different Catholic denominations. Is that okay with you, counselor?
