 (Don't confuse these with premises. A premise is something necessary for the argument. An assumption is something necessary to even hold the conversation. For example, if you're wanting to argue with someone about whether tacos are the best Mexican food, something like "food exists" and "the world exists" would be obvious assumptions; without them, you can't even talk about what the best Mexican food is. "Tacos are the least spicy food" is a premise.) (Don't confuse these with premises. A premise is something necessary for the argument.
