By simply stating blankly that they can't do something, they create a burden that can't be passed without concrete evidence, even in a civil case.

^^- I don't want people to get the wrong idea. This guy doesn't know what he's talking about. You go get sued and try pulling that shit against a capable lawyer and watch what happens. The federal judges I have received decisions from, don't appear to be born yesterday.
News flash. People get sued when they knowingly are doing hurtful or illegal acts. It really does take a lot for someone to want to sue you, think about it. And when those people committing the acts get sued, they think they can pull some sort of bullshit like you wrote above. They think they can get squirelly, and play stupid, and somehow its all going to work out in the end. Most times, it blows up in their face, especially when they act transparently stupid. Federal law suits are not a cake walk, especially when the facts are against you.
