I mean do you actively avoid making assertions? do you consider previous events as evidence, allow extrapolations on your reasoning?
And about other people speaking to you, do you guys let them assert things blatantly because you guys know thats not exactly what they meant? or do you feel an urge to correct them as they cannot possibly know what they are asserting?
I try to avoid making un-evidenced assertions, when I can, yeah.
Reason -is- an extrapolation, the question is redundant.....and that pretty much answers the next question, huh?

More elaboratively, as to whether or not I correct people on what they can and cannot know. Well, I'm not exactly knocking on doors, now, am I?
