It is the Examiner’s burden to establish a prima facie case of noncompliance based on the written description requirement by presenting evidence or reasons establishing why persons skilled in the art would not recognize in the original disclosure a description of the invention defined by the claims.

This evidence deserves at least some weight and should have been weighed with the other evidence of record. Cf. In re Alton, 76 F.3d 1168, 1173-74 (Fed. Cir. 1996) (holding as error the failure to consider declaration evidence concerning questions of fact, and the summary dismissal, without adequate explanation, of the declaration as rebuttal evidence.). The Declaration need not prove that all contractors skilled in the art would have not found the method obvious.
