I think the wrong burdens of proof are being used. "Reasonable suspicion" should be used for investigations.

What is it with the deluge of people on HN that suddenly don't believe in evidence-based reasoning?

You've confused 'evidence' with 'proof'.

There's way, way more than enough evidence to require investigation. Which could then possibly lead to a standard of proof...

If tptb investigated. Which they haven't, despite all the evidence.

... Which is its own kind of proof.
