No serious and consequential debates are decided like that, by definition. Your examples are?
Likewise I think it's your position that needs examples
. If I squint all examples appear to fit my model at least approximately.
Marital disagreements are a good clear example. Most are resolved by one spouse deciding to accept without conceding. 'This too shall pass'

Well, I wasn't the one making the original assertion, so the onus is perhaps on you. In marital disagreements I prefer to defer, because mine are (happily enough) not terribly serious or consequential, which I gather was the topic ;)

I don't buy that burden of proof heuristic. It's on the side making the tighter claim. I've provided a few but I see no clear examples of yours yet. Climate change might be one soon, where skeptics are won over by accumulating evidence
