    If this topic proves anything, it’s that we should make sure everyone is assuming the same thing before discussing, or clarify before discussing.

    You can literally come up with different answers without further clarification.

      Remember when we had to list all of our assumptions before making an argument?

      Those were good times. (I don’t remember when, maybe in Linear Algebra or an engineer or philosophy course.)
