I mean, is it always considered crossing the line to draw conclusions based on a little logical sense? You seriously can't do this without being called out as a bad word.

Are people really offended, or just looking for a cheap way to win a bout?

You're playing it safe to just not assume. But if you do assume you are either wrong which will only make you look bad or you are right which will make you look slightly less bad.

I always assume. Like, right now, im assuming, based on logic, that you're a rather intelligent person. Did this end badly? I dont think so.

It's only a problem if what you assume turns out to be wrong.

Assumptions make up 99.9% of every day decisions. We go to school because we assume the building hasn't been destroyed by an inexplicable herd of cows trampling it. We call our friends up to say hello because we assume that we don't have a second personality that's having an affair with their husbands. We assume that Sigourney Weaver isn't actually a dude, therefore it's still acceptable to cast her in female roles. If we didn't assume anything, we wouldn't even get out of bed in the morning, lest we make the false assumption that our mattress hasn't been placed in the middle of the Atlantic ocean.

You might want to specify your question ;)

I assumed the opposite. There are very few things, if any, that are never ok.

You assume all the time. It's only a problem when you make bad assumptions or when you don't have enough information to make an assumption.
