The Assumption Life Cycle

  • Assumptions begin as the easiest fit for available facts.
  • Assumptions become dogma when they fit with existing orthodoxy, they are common sensical, and are not immediately testable.
  • New observations are forced to fit the dogma.
  • As evidence piles up against the dogma, orthodoxy must collapse before new assumptions can take root.
