Class and Level Geekery VIII (spoilers ahoy!)

[Kish]

It appears to me that this is little more than "Well, Eugene could have been lying."

Which is true, but isn't sufficient to declare what he said was false. He is our in-comic expert,

Argh.

Thus, the default assumption must be that canon is correct in this instance.

..."Canon is correct"... Eugene's name is not Canon and the default most certainly need not be that Eugene is acting as Voice of God. To refute the assertion, "Eugene said it, that settles it," it is not necessary to declare what he said false. It is sufficient to note that the burden of proof is on the person making the positive assertion, that that positive assertion ("Eugene is acting as the Voice of God") lacks proof, and that the default assumption should be neutrality.
