John, I can easily imagine a scenario where you would not only agree that trying to prove a negative makes no sense, but you would demand that others think that way. Suppose you were arrested for some heinous crime. You're told that no proof is needed (indeed, convincing proof) that you did it, but that the burden of proof is on you to prove that you DIDN'T do it. Now tell me that you wouldn't think the people who told you that weren't irrational and unreasonable, and their point of view would be just as valid as having to prove that you did it.
