Deductive reasoning, is still assuming.

My statement may be taken however you like.
As for the exact definition for both words, they ALSO may be interpreted however you like.
But as most would see it, they are assuming you are using REASON to come up with the assumption. --example for you
1. I assume elephants are pink.
2. I assume gravity is going to be just as strong, on a planet similar to earth.
Are you saying 1. Is the only type of assumption because it uses NO reason?, the 2nd example is ACTUALLY not assuming anything?
if a number is not 3, it must be 4--
~~~~~
Deductive statements are assumptions.

great little drama with the baboon. when our cat was a kitten, she walked into our bedroom and saw her image in the closet sliding doors, which had floor-length mirrors. she immediately arched her back at herself--then walked into the closet behind the mirror to see if that other cat was in there. then she'd come back out, arch her back again, then check inside again. she had us in stitches. it took several days before the game wore off.
i think dr. f quit religion but he hasn't left it behind yet. i felt that way about leaving catholicism for a few years. i'd tell people i felt like the fish that spit the hook--still a sore spot in the jaw, but oh, the freedom. after a few years the sore spot in the jaw went away too.
don't sell baboons short. true story here:

Dr. F. is right either Jesus is a liar, crazy, or He is all the bible says He is, the Son of God and savior of the world!

Its completely black and white
either, or
Kind of funny you'd say that Dr. F seeing as how the tool (internet programming/database) you use to post it is pretty well "both, and".
BTW, I take exception to the notion of Pate that language is concrete. Language evolves. It is in a state of flux. Meaning of words change over time. They are not 100% (nor is anything) as you claim.

Not an analogy. It is a fact.

Words absolutely positively CANNOT be defined as you see fit. Language is concrete.
Are you willing to apply that to say, the definition of marriage?

EITHER YOU BELIEVE IT, OR NOT
I feel for you Dr. F. Maybe someday you'll lose the shackles and see.

Dr. F, Is a work of art right or wrong? When you view it do you either love it or hate it?
You seem so mechanistic to me. Do you believe that if you break thinks down small enough you can perform a separation?
