You cannot. Caruana tried in vain to win a game against Carlsen's Sicilian Sveshnikov Variation during their World Championship Match: all 6 draws.
Bobby fischer once said
"The king's gambit is refuted by d6"
but he was wrong
You cannot refute any opening
EG. Take a gambit,defend,win.
Same for sicilian
It cannot be "refuted"
If they don't know the theory, it can lead to a big advantage for White, especially at the intermediate level.
Start with an Open Sicilian, if that goes wrong, resign as soon as you see c5 after e4 - it works a treat :)
