Anytime you
launch a negative case in debate (that is to say, whenever you set out
to debunk a proposed statement), you absolutely must present evidence
to support your argument against the opposing case.


Nonsense, dumbass! You cannot prove a negative at all.



FYI - that's part of the nomenclature of competitive debate, not a
reference to "proving a negative" in logic.

Positive case = proposed statement or idea
Negative case = opposition to proposed statement or idea
