He didn't ask you to prove a NEGATIVE, he asked you how one would go
about proving they AREN'T IMAGINARY.

"You can't prove a negative" in your case is "I can't prove they AREN'T
Imaginary"

Spot the flaw?

You cannot PROVE that they DO NOT exist.

By the same token, you cannot PROVE that god DOES NOT exist.

The burden of 'proof' normally falls upon the person who accuses others
of falsities.

As for the Million Dollars remark, isn't it the debtor who is required
to prove that the person owes them anything in the first place? Last I
checked, failure to do so constituted Fraud.

You would have to provide said 'promisary note' and then PROVE that it
was my signature, BEFORE the fact that I 'owed' you could be established.

The act of saying something, does not make it true.
