An argument based on presupposition is NOT an explanation, it's a curiosity, if part of your reasoning for explaining phenomenon x involved the assumption that y but you never manage to verify that y then x is necessarily unexplained too.
As you also know Fr0d0, a presupposition makes an assumption about the world that has not been confirmed thus any presuppositionalist argument is ALWAYS a bare assertion, every presuppositionalist argument is a fallacy by it's very nature.

Nope, I still wouldn't have a damn clue what I was doing
