As I see it, MattyP did a weird job of trying to win a logical argument...

It works this way in my mind... see if it makes sense to you?

Person A claims to have run full-synth and this has cam wear. (and has evidence to support this).

Person B claims to have run semi-synth and there is no cam wear. (it's impossible to have evidence of this, as you can't prove a null result)

The scientific method says that the burden of proof lies with the person making the claim. If you have evidence to support your claim, then you make sure that the evidence is directly linked to the claim by performing exeperiments that eliminate as many other variables as possible... then if the experiments hold true to your original claim, the claim is said to be a "hypothesis/theorem". Then from this point your work will be peer reviewed to make sure it is correct and the same experiments done again and again... if there is no deviation in the results in subsequent peer reviewed testing/experiementation, then it is said to be "proven" or "fact". (until of course somebody has a subsequent hypothesis which can be equally proven which disproves your original hypothesis - requiring re-testing etc - the cycle continues on and on!).

Nobody has followed the above method (yet), therefore all evidence is to be taken with a grain of salt, as there's no proven causal link between the results and the evidence supplied.

the fact that YOU like or dislike something cannot be proven and cannot apply to any other circumstance, therefore making the statement itself is only informative - it cannot be proven or disproven.
