Noun

Wikipedia definition
2. Probatio diabolicaProbatio diabolica is a legal requirement to achieve an impossible proof. Where a legal system would appear to require an impossible proof, the remedies are reversing the burden of proof, or giving additional rights to the individual facing the probatio diabolica. In essence the lack of proof that contradicts the given statement makes the statement true in some sense. This connects with the idea that there is no evidence to prove that the devil exists.
