Proof by lack of evidence

The proof by lack of evidence fallacy is claiming something is true simply because nobody has yet given any evidence to the contrary.

Torturer: You are a heretic! You can't prove that you aren't one, so you are a heratic. Confess, or we will stretch your body out until you are a foot taller.

Accused: Ha, you did it - you committed the proof by lack of evidence fallacy!

Torturer: That's enough out of you. Brutus, give the wheel another turn.

Schrödinger's evidence

In an argument, when one refuses to make a simple search for evidence of their claim; however, they demand that the opposition does so. This creates a paradoxical position in which their belief is true and, when confronted with facts, either remains true or is discovered to be false.

In the event that it is discovered to be false, a second paradox often occurs in which the claim remains true by way of continuing to state it despite the evidence.

"Nobody has proven me wrong yet. Give me a source, I admit defeat. Don't, I stay right! Of course, I can obviously google for myself... but I have Schrödinger's evidence on my side!"
