My claim is that the €-Mark is experiencing a currency crisis due to the BuBa being unwilling to pay to defend its currency policy. Your claim is that the €-Mark is experiencing no such crisis.

To disprove my claim, you have to demonstrate that debt is the dominant causative factor in every case (formally speaking - informally, you only have to demonstrate that it is so in the overwhelming majority of cases). To disprove your claim, I only have to demonstrate that current accounts are the dominant factor in a single case (again, if we stand on formalism - for practical purposes, I have to demonstrate that the test case is of at least moderate significance).

The former is a significantly more daunting proposition than the latter.

Or, to put it in slightly less formal terms, I am claiming that a suspect murdered his wife. You are claiming that the suspect did not murder anybody, and as proof of this you note that he did not murder his neighbour, who is known to have committed suicide.

I hope you can see why this is not a viable defense strategy.
