Alla:

I certainly take FACTS that are presented as evidence as facts, I do 
not take arguments as facts, but when for example two entries, which 
exist are compared, I absolutely take them as fact.

And erm... Carol, this is a civil case, the statement that you just 
made is incorrect on several levels.

Just to give you one example - in my area of law, one of the most 
important burdens IS on the defendant and if and only if defendant 
proved it, the burden shifts to plaintiff.

That means simply speaking that often I can loose a case even if 
plaintiff brings no rebuttal witness.
