in real life you can't say stuff like "in fact, this situation is a 'devil's proof'!" ... people will just accept whatever seems most likely without certain proof that it's true
@underwhite its what ushiromiya battler is always saying... the idea comes from this scenario. Say you are trying to prove that the devil exists. all you have to do is show someone a devil and you have proven it. But it's impossible to prove they don't exist because even if you never see them they could still exist somewhere you don't know about.
So the idea is that while having evidence for something's existence proves that it exists, you can't deny something's existence with a lack of evidence, since it's always possible there's something you just don't know. At least that is how ushiromiya Kyrie defined it i think
