So, so, so much this.
If there's an assumption being made somewhere, I'd really like to see someone show it. Not just say it--"Oh, these guys just presume that existing existence exists in the existent existence" or some bullshit--but to show precisely which claims/statements must make which assumptions.
If something like "Does it seem that a Necessary Being exists" is making an assumption about the existence of some Necessary Being, I'd really like to see how or why.
