How do you prove you don't secretly intend to make a nuclear spaghetti monster?
I have been thinking of the "Laptop of Death" alleged evidence about the alleged nuclear weaponization work in Iran which (finally) has been selectively provided by the US to the IAEA, to be used to confront Iran.
The IAEA has now asked Iran about these allegations, but the IAEA wasn't actually "permitted" by the US to show the documents to Iran.. Iran is nevertheless expected to prove that it doesn't secretly intend to make nukes as these alleged documents allegedly allege.
Now, imagine that using my computer, I draw you a picture of a nuclear spaghetti monster. Then, I show it to you - partially -- and demand that you prove that you are not secretly intending to make one these things in the indefinite future. How is this any different from what the IAEA is demanding of Iran?
