Accepting as tentatively true while recognizing it might be otherwise....is essentially an assertion in my opinion.

Presuppositionalism turns every argument into mere pretense on the part of the arguer; we are no longer getting a full account of all the facts, and a conclusion based upon them, but instead a collection of either facts or misrepresentations that lead exclusively to a predrawn conclusion, regardless of accuracy.
Doesn't the fact that a given position makes its holder stop actually debating seem kinda relevant, in an argument?
Gee, I don't know: if a guy started off his argument with the statement "everything I'm about to say is a lie," would that level of metacommentary be germane to the argument he's about to make? Why should a slightly slimier version of precisely that sentiment be any less relevant?
You presuppose every argument Craig makes is bad. You're guilty of "presuppositionalism".
