Proof by asking questionsI keep seeing people make claims that something is impossible, then they attempt to support their claim by asking a series of questions "how did X happen?" " how do you explain Y?" "where did Z come from?".
Is this just an example of an argument from ignorance, or something else? |

So, asking a clarifying question is being ignorant? Shouldn’t the person making the claim of possible be expected to defend their position?
