What is wrong with the above premise?
From what I've learnt, judging a premise is a two phase endeavour.
1) Is the premise true?
2) If not true, is it likely to be true?
Applying this to your premise, it cannot be said that your premise is true. However, it can be said that it is likely to be true. Therefore it is a reasonable premise.
The least we can do is be reasonable.
8000 years before Jesus, the Egyptian god Horus said, "I am the way, the truth, the life."
