Yes we both do know that. That wasn't my point.
I am being fair. I asked if it was a premise for a reason.
When I asked if it was a premise I didn't just mean "Is that a premise for this specific argument?"
I meant was that a premise that you haven't reasoned to? How did you even get to that starting point?
My point being that it is no use using premises that entail your conclusions for this argument if that premise itself is unsound.
