Indeed, but in these hypothetical scenarios, assumption is disallowed. You are given the scenario, and must make the decision with the information given. Most absolutists I've met try to deny the scenario by stating that it would never happen, but even though this is true, it isn't the point. The entire point of ethical dilemmas is to test various ethical systems under any possible constraint.
