Fox's Law of Intellectual Dispute

In any intellectual dispute the side that's wrong is the one that makes greater use of the following "evidence":

1. Shut up (includes shouting down, threatening with jail (legal speech prohibitions), personal or professional harassment, etc.)
2. There is no debate
3. We are smarter than you (or we have more advanced degrees, went to better schools, etc.)
4. We are more numerous than you (or everybody knows, etc.)
5. Unsavory characters believe as you do (Hitler liked puppies so puppies are bad, etc.)
6. You are evil (or racist, or a Nazi, etc.)
7. You are in the pockets of those who are evil
8. You are a dupe of those who are evil
9. Peer review is the gold standard (and they get to pick the "peers")
10. The burden of proof is on you (except preponderance of evidence is the only reasonable standard outside of criminal court)

Fox's Law functions in even extreme circumstances. For example, suppose there is but one person on Earth that believes "A", and everybody else on Earth believes "not A". If the "not A" multitudes appeal to the types of evidence enumerated above more than does the one holdout, then the proposition "A" is certainly right and everybody on Earth is certainly wrong except our lone hero.
