A Digitallighting tactic where the perpetrator demands impossible or absurd levels of proof, often with the goal of exhausting, humiliating, or psycholighting the target. The prooflighter asks for sources, then declares them insufficient, moves goalposts, demands ever‑more stringent evidence, and finally uses the target’s inability to meet impossible standards as “proof” that the target is irrational, dishonest, or mentally unstable. It is a common companion to psycholighting and conlighting, turning the legitimate value of evidence into a weapon of attrition.
