Goes both ways.

Others have linked it, so this is dead, but no it doesn't. An adult human makes a claim, and supports it with evidence. A child says things and then just goes "look it up yourself"
An adult might look it up, and still come up short, therefore mistakenly thinking they are right. So nobody wins.
If, after presenting evidence, someone just goes "nuhuh you're dumb" then they can be dismissed as well.
So, present evidence, or gtfo. It's good enough for court, it's good enough for science, it's good enough for adults.

Yes but technically, if I say something is true, I have the burden to prove it, but it goes both ways. If you just claim no I'm wrong, you also have burden to prove it.
