If I want to show that two distributions are statistically different then I start with the assumption that they are not and then set out to disprove that.

And what assumption do you use when you want to show that they are the same? It's just a matter of how you formulate your question.

As a matter of technical statistical terminology, the null hypothesis when testing two groups for equality is that the relevant average (usually the mean, but median tests exist) is the same for both groups.

In this case we know for a fact the averages are not the same, the debate is over the causes.
