Although after reading the above piece, I may need to think twice about making such assumptions.
The Internet's original designers had not made any such assumptions, and the result was a surge of innovation.

All beliefs and intuitions about whether and when abortion is moral or immoral amount to a priori assumptions, although one hopes such assumptions would be informed by an informed understanding of reproductive biology.
If such risks or uncertainties materialize or such assumptions prove incorrect, the results of HP and its consolidated subsidiaries could differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements and assumptions.

But initial data collected by the SEC Whistleblower Office following the passage of Dodd-Frank show that such assumptions are badly outdated and that cultural impediments to whistleblowing in Europe, Asia and elsewhere are quickly eroding.

Susan Patton never questions the norm that women should "marry up" -- and by extension, men should marry "down" -- on a variety of dimensions, including education, accomplishment and age. (Nor does she question the assumption that mate choice is universally heterosexual, but that is a topic for another debate.) Yet a thorough gender revolution means questioning such assumptions about how women (and men) select a life partner.
Most economists, it is probably fair to say, would simply rather not contemplate the failure of such cherished assumptions.
Many schemes assume, on the basis of past performance, a return of 7.5-8%, a figure that is highly implausible given the current low yields. (By contrast, in 1981, when Treasury bonds were yielding 13.5%, pension funds assumed a future annual return of just 6%.) Such rosy assumptions allow schemes to stint on their contributions, building up huge future risks.
Such differences result from various assumptions regarding unknowns such as changing urbanization and other land use influences that contaminate surface temperature recordings.

Further, plan sponsors may demand unrealistic actuarial assumptions, such as assumed rates of returns of 8% or more.
There are of course many assumptions built into such plans, but my review leads me to believe that it is a robust platform for serious exploration of the Big Venture Play.

Yet such criticism lives-off old assumptions about technological concepts that either interrupted the experience in the stadium or did little to enhance it.

He went on to say that such criticism is based on "assumptions that people's situations don't change" and that the number of families involved is "relatively small".
Such advice is predicated upon certain unsupportable assumptions (for example, that nuclear weapons, other military capabilities or mere moral suasion will suffice to deter chemical attacks against this country or its friends and allies overseas).
As such, you must implement a plan based on assumptions and suppositions.
We should be willing to challenge old assumptions in order to lessen the prospects of such violence in the future. (Applause.) But what we cannot do is use this tragedy as one more occasion to turn on each other. (Applause.) That we cannot do. (Applause.) That we cannot do.
Chained CPI includes assumptions on consumer habits in response to rising prices, such as seeking cheaper alternatives, and would result in smaller benefit increases in future years.
The chained CPI includes assumptions on consumer habits with regard to rising prices, such as seeking cheaper alternatives, and would result in smaller benefit increases in future years.
Called chained CPI, the new formula includes assumptions on consumer habits in response to rising prices, such as seeking cheaper alternatives, and would result in smaller benefit increases in future years.
The new calculation, called chained CPI, includes assumptions on consumer habits in response to rising prices, such as seeking cheaper alternatives, and would result in smaller benefit increases in future years.
It also had a new formula for the consumer price index -- called chained CPI -- that wraps in new assumptions on consumer habits in response to rising prices, such as seeking cheaper alternatives, and would result in smaller benefit increases.
IT-based consultancies such as Andersen Consulting is forcing more traditional consultancies to rethink their basic assumptions about their business.
More to the point, SSUTA supporters make some rather utopian assumptions regarding how small businesses would be compensated when complying with such a system.
These assumptions are complete nonsense, and will quickly be shown as such assuming we return to a policy path that allows for economic growth.
But Bankia's assumptions on the rate of non-performing loans in areas such as residential mortgages and corporate loans set a disturbing new benchmark for other lenders.
That prospect has already persuaded companies such as Microsoft, Cisco Systems and Hewlett-Packard to change the assumptions underlying their option schemes in order to reduce their potential impact on the bottom line.
But it said it was still concerned that future budget assumptions were "over-optimistic" and that risks - such as the cost of bringing back equipment from Afghanistan - had not been fully factored into calculations.
This contains certain assumptions about what is likely to happen to important economic variables, such as inflation and passenger numbers, over the contract period.
Some books target specific needs, such as caring and providing for an elderly relative, but they still make certain assumptions.
