Assumptions are points of convenience in establishing a viewpoint. The true meaning of assume can or may mean: ass-u-me. Other terms “In Theory” or “In All Probability” those are used also in presenting a viewpoint. Data may be manipulated to prove or disprove a position/viewpoint.
In the July issue of Precession Shooting an article Writers Discussion Part II. There is a story related that occurred in South Africa. A South African veteran of Angola interrupted a bank robbery by individuals armed with automatic and semiautomatic weapons. The veteran armed with a BHP (Browning High Power) pistol engaged the individuals at an extended distance, moving, using cover and caused great mischief. The robbers could not locate their antagonist because they looked close but not far or other wise they would have killed him. Now the South African veteran may or may not have had a “Death Wish” but his example would be outside of the accepted norm.
Statistics and grim reality some times clash when your circumstance falls outside the accepted norm. An instructor at the Jungle Warfare School at Fort Sherman in the Canal Zone four decades plus past made the statement “How far up a goat’s rear end can you look” or of recent reference a Special Forces NCO “You don’t know what you don’t know”.
