No wonder GM finds it hard to compete. I'm sure it has been modernized
that plant over the years, but the age of the facility speaks volumes
about what is wrong with the management of America's car
manufacturers.


No kidding. Management should have shut it down years ago in favor of
opening a more profitable non-union plant. I guess it took 68 years of
"negotiations" with UAW to finally win concessions for closing the
place.

No. *You* prove I'm wrong.

This is a logical fallacy called "shifting the burden of proof." The burden of
proving any assertion rests, by convention, with the person making the
assertion.

Furthermore, someone using this type of "fallacy of distraction" is trying to
hand the other person in the argument the very difficult task of "proving a
negative."

From the standpoint of credibility in any argument, it better to be ready to
substantiate an assertion, rather than trying to use any tactics of distraction.
