The burden of evidence is always on the curious mind.  There are plenty
of incurious folks who can understand the evidence once it's there. 
There are also many curious folks with no interest in evidence
whatsoever.  The world's a big place.  There are even curious people
who could get all of the needed evidence but just have other priorities
than proving someone else's theory.

Big crazy new ideas often get "dismissed" for years before they're
vindicated.  Jitter, continental drift, that sort of thing.  But there
are also lots of big crazy new ideas that get "dismissed" for years and
are still dismissed.  Hollow earth theory and green magic markers come
to mind.  The difference is evidence.  Sometimes some nice skeptic will
go get your evidence for you.  But usually it's up to you.
