I think that we are talking about anything in general, not specificaly the paranormal.
I one person shows you what they believe is undeniable proof about an issue, do you believe it? If not then your idea of proof is different.
In fact you may even believe you have proof that their proof is full of holes. Will they buy it?
This is why we have threads on the board that go on forever.
As for what is proof for me. I think it depends on what I am trying to prove.
If I am trying to prove a result with testing at work. Then I will only come to a conclusion once I have proved the result through all the testing.
If however, we are talking about a theory that is posted on this baord I usually start off from a point of plausibility and need to be convinced beyond that point with evidence from people or sources I trust.
Confirmation from people or sources I trust do not mnecessarily make it true but it definately makes it more plausible in my perception.
