Nope. Just because you lack the knowledge to explain something does not mean you don't happen to be correct.

For example:

Person 1: "Gravity doesn't exist."
Person 2: "Yes, it does."
Person 1: "Prove it, bitch."
Person 2: "I am a fellow middle schooler and lack the depth of knowledge to explain why gravity exists. However, I am sure it does exist. Ask me again in a few years and I'll endeavor to acquire the requisite knowledge. In the meantime, get a job. Get a life."

Person 2 is not wrong. It doesn't matter that they can't explain why Person 1 is wrong.

Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

I had an argument yesterday with somebody who claimed that Steam was spyware, and demanded that we prove that it wasn't. Some people can't understand Russel's Teapot or the burden of proof.
