You've got it backwards. If I assert that I can just flap my arms and fly,
you do not need to prove that I cannot do it; rather *I*  have to show you I
*can* do it.

I'm just going to repeat what I said the last time around. The example above
is in no way a perpetual motion machine in the thermodynamic sense.
