Dictionary doesn't say anything about having to prove you wrong.
The idea is for each side to give their arguments and back them up accordingly or not. The burden of proof isn't on someone else to prove you wrong. The burden of proof is on you to prove you are right.
Am thinking it isn't Saturn who doesn't know what a debate is.
