In other words, I can not prove my assertion, so I will just take the
easy
route, and ask others to disprove it.

Actually, that is a quite normal procedure in exact science -- It is
almost impossible to prove a theory, but as long as it describes
the available evidence within experimental accuracy, and nobody
has evidence to the contrary, it is accepted. Nothing irrational
about that.

A theory must comply with the scientific method by being demonstrable and
repeatable.

An assertion has no need for any basis.

Of course, one day Einstein was asked how he would have reacted
if an astronomical measurement, set up to prove the general theory
of relativity, had indicated otherwise. He answered "I would have
been very sorry for the gentleman. The theory is right."

Given that astronomical experiments had already proven the theory to be
true, how else was Einstein to feel?
