I haven’t claimed anything. i don’t think I’ve even called it a failure.

I have plenty of proof tho. What proof would you like?

Let me try an illustrative example:

Prove to me the planet Jupiter is huge

That leaves the question "what proof are you asking for exactly?! What’s needed to prove huge to you? What are the goal posts and I can provide information to prove it’s huge… If I only have “prove it” I’m not sure what to hand you…

That’s how it gets silly

“The parade was a failure”

“Prove it”

"What exactly do you want proven? Failure is an opinion so what’s the metric we are working worth? What proves a failure of a parade? I mean it was viewed by significantly less people than the Macy’s day parade? I hated the idea of the parade and complained it was happening but somehow still forgot it was happening at all… Does being forgettable count as failure ? It had less turnout than expected… Is that a failure? It cost millions of dollars and even the people arguing it wasn’t a failure admit they didn’t watch it or care it happened at all… Is that failure?

What exactly do you want proven? I’ll prove it I just need to know what I’m researching for you?
