Assumption

An assumption is never a good reason to make a decision.
The moron did radiation treatment based on the assumption he had cancer, rather than actually knowing he was sick. He died from the radiation treatment instead.

assumptioneer

An assumptioneer is someone who works in a field very similar to that of an engineer but they do not have tons and tons of accurate data available to make decisions so they have to make lots of assumptions, hence this makes them an assumptioneer - doing assumptioneering work.
Project Manager - How is the work progressing on the facility design?
Design Manager - Jon has been struggling with a lack of data but as we all know he is a great assumptioneer
Project Manager - ok as long as we clearly document all our assumptions in a concept document should be fine for now

Illogical Marian Assumption

An Illogical Marian Assumption, is my joke, on the Marian Assumption, a Christian doctrine, where The Virgin Mary, ascended to Heaven. It's also, a joke, on the, illogical assumption, a term, in logic.
The Devil's, Illogical Marian Assumption, is that, he hates The Virgin Mary, so he wants her, to join him, in Hell! A joke!

Assumption

A neo-nazi school that listens to Kanye because of his political beliefs. History class consists of writing essays about why World World II was wrong and how Hilter was underservingly killed. The second favorite topic of Assumption was slavery. On many occasions Assumption teachers have said openly how slaver was great and the reason the country prospered. And we should go back to the old days. Teachers have also been caught saying the N-word when they thought no one was listening. The third favorite topic of assumption teachers was being sexually intimate with young female students. Especially going into their bathroom unannounced when they felt horny. Lastly the 7th grade is the most faggot grade in all school history. Their activities consist of sending nudes to old men in other countries, jerking each other in the bathroom at will, and wrestling to see who gets the next fucking in the ass in between classes and in the nurses bathroom. Would not recommend unless u are a Hilter supporting, slavery enforcing, little faggot who has no where else to go.
Example 1 -
Faggot 7th grader- english teacher at Assumption, what topic will we be learned today
English teacher- Nword, please be quiet as ur not permitted to speak in my class. This is why u belong in the fields.

7th grader- English teCher, did u just say the nword?
English teacher- Nword, it’s ok it was in the book

Our Lord Jesus Christ, proclaims The Logical Marian Assumption. He says, The Virgin Mary, his mother, is pure, and chaste enough, to be brought, bodily to heaven! Amen! Another joke!

Assumption of Benevolence Fallacy

The logical error of assuming people act honestly, ethically, or transparently without evidence, ignoring that self-interest, incentives, and deception often influence behavior. Accepting statements or actions at face value without considering motives is the Assumption of Benevolence Fallacy.

Examples Illustrating the Assumption of Benevolence Fallacy:

1. Law Enforcement:
Police at a crime scene operate under the assumption of malice or self-interest, not automatic honesty. Ignoring human self-interest in these situations would be dangerous and illogical.

2. Sports / Entertainment:
In the Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul fight, assuming the bout wasn’t rigged just because they denied it ignores possible financial or strategic incentives, making this a clear Assumption of Benevolence Fallacy.

3. Everyday Life / Buying Items:
Buying a “cheap” iPad or concert tickets on Craigslist without checking could leave you with a fake or broken product. Verifying items before purchase follows the assumption of malice, showing why assuming honesty is a fallacy.
1. “Thinking a stranger handing you a USB drive is safe to plug in? That’s the Assumption of Benevolence Fallacy—people can have hidden motives.”

2. “Believing every politician is telling the truth during a campaign speech is a classic Assumption of Benevolence Fallacy.”

3. “Assuming your roommate would never eat your leftovers without asking? That’s textbook Assumption of Benevolence Fallacy.”
