No, SUBMAN1, you are wrong here, very wrong in fact. The burden of proof allways rests on the one making a claim, regardless of how lagical said claim is it is only evidence that can validate it. Not taking assertions at face value, regardless of wether you like them or not, is called being concistent, something you seem to have trouble with.

Edit: Damnit, should hare read the rest of hte thread before having a knee jerk reaction at subbies post, aparently everything I say in this post has llready been told him ad nauseum and he still doesnt listen, imagine that.

Without getting into the polemics* of this thread, what you have said is absolutely the truth. In the scientific and academic tradition, the party making the assertion is the same that holds the burden of proof. In the case above, it is the owner of the garden who must prove the existence of his invisible unicorn. In the scope of the original argument, the burden rests upon SteamWake.
