1. Very true.
2. I guess the only answer for this is to ask you whether you've ever been falsely accused, Ben. By your wife, your dad, your employer, or by anybody in your life who could influence your happiness.
How about if you were ever accused by the sexual harrassment committee where you work? They're not going to put you in an electric chair. You okay with "if in our opinion it occurred, you're gone"?
Your wife thinks maybe you cheated, but can't prove it? Your protests don't prove that an infidelity didn't occur, right?
Inside the judicial system or outside it, "Prove you didn't do it" is a harsh way for people to interact.
