A burden of proof depends on the context. If you want to convince me to adopt then you have to fulfill a burden of proof and convince me that’s a good decision for me to make.
If you want simply want to talk about your experience that your new dog is awesome, you don’t have to fulfill any burden of proof to me.
If a company wants to bring a new drug on the market they have to establish it’s clinical benefits in two statistical significant clinical trials. On the other hand adverse effects have a lower burden or proof. You need far less evidence for the FDA to get a company to bring up a certain effect as adverse effect for a drug.
Is truth different for benefits then adverse effects? No. But burden of proof is. Burden of proof always depends on the purpose for which you want to use information.
If you ask me: What do you believe about topic X? I don’t have any burden of proof to prove that my beliefs on X are true. I only have a burden once I want you to change your belief.
