> to use this argument in court you need to prove that it's true *without any shadow of doubt*

Actually, that would be a civil case, so you only have to prove it *on the balance of probabilities* (eg. that is more likely than not) but that is still quite a hurdle.

And BTW, even criminal cases only require *beyond reasonable doubt*, not beyond any doubt, as that would generally be impossible...
