You are on a slippery slope making a claim of extraordinary size. Glenzig doesn't have to produce any evidence, the burden of proof is on you.
A small minority of historians doubt Tacitus, that hardly serves as proof.

Slippery slope? I asked Glenzig to simply give me the same respect I have given him. I have answered
hundreds of his questions. He has answered maybe 2 of mine. Instead, he ignores the questions I ask while throwing three more at me. This has nothing to do with the burden of proof. It has everything to do with him refusing to debate properly or answer a simple question.
"A small minority of historians doubt Tacitus, that hardly serves as proof."
Show me the numbers. How many agree? How many disagree? Minority and majority arent very accurate terms...for all you know it means 49% and 51%. Let's say 20% debate the validity. Is that a large enough number to claim there is an active debate? What about 21%? 22%? What is the magic number that I need to surpass the "historians debate" threshold?
