What does it mean?

If the young boy can't prove that Pinocchio was actually a good motivational speaker, than it must be true that he was bad.

The burden of proof lies with the person making the claim and NOT with the person trying to disprove or credit the claim.

Shifting the burden of proof means that proof comes from the person trying to disprove the claim rather than the person making the claim.

If you can't prove that this won't happen than it means that it will.

Eggs must be this hard to crack, it can't be proved that they are not.

If Maddison was to say that there was a tiny elephant traveling around Neptune at light speeds since no one can prove that wrong, it must be true.
