… or there are correct assumptions too?
Well, I know some of you, or majority might, say that correct assumptions do exist…
but then, how many of us based our actions on our assumptions?
Is there any generic rule 
?
PS: sorry for confusion
PS2: discuss 
Re: Are assumptions always wrong?
Yes, assumptions are always wrong. Deduction is another matter. :)
Re: Are assumptions always wrong?
I think

did u mean khiaalee pulao?
Not always.
Re: Are assumptions always wrong?
Not always, but before making an assumption one has to do some research… 
Yes, assumptions are always wrong. Deduction is another matter. :)
Many a times, premises of deduction is some kind of assumption too.
Re: Are assumptions always wrong?
Not always. Even if a dumb person makes some assumptions according to rules of probability he/she can be right some of the times in his/her assumptions.

Not so wise, Deduction is never without inference, inference is never without generalization, and generalization is never without an assumption.
The generic rule to “assume” is spelled out by our inability to look into future, We would be living in the age of Homo Sapiens had our ancestors not assumed. However assumptions can’t replace the necessity of the factual conception based on experience for a modern day civilized humane.

AQ my bald eagle mod, you can read dictionary? Put both assumption and dedudtion statements in your thread and then we can talk. :)
IntelliPhant, stop telling me about interference and generalization. It has nothing to with deduction and assumption. You have misunderstood the whole idea about we can assume things and how can can deduce things. The same goes to you what I said to AQ, then I will tell you the meaning of interference and generalizing thing. I just want you realize whats the difference, thats all. :)
Re: Are assumptions always wrong?
When I do computer simluated structural analysis, I make few assumption based on my engineering judgement to simplify the run. A common practice in Computer Aided Engineering.
Better engineer you are, better judgments, more assumptions, simpler run. Real life should work like that. You should only make assumptions if you have dealt the similar situations with same people. New people or new situations should be dealt with the least amount of assumptions

And than ya blame them for being defensive :@:

TLK, thats I want I prove to this forum, you said "I make few assumption based on my engineering judgement", you are not assumming things but you are deducing things because of your engineering jugment. Tell that to AQ and Intelli that, and I am still waiting for the statements from the dictionary. :)

Well said,
I guess we engineers use the word assumption out of habit and maybe word deduction has more afirmation to it and saying ' I made the wrong assumption' vs 'I made the wrong deductions' sounds better if you realize and analysis error ..
real life is not that forgiving. You cannot debug the code and re-run the program again ..
but in nutshell, I agree with what you are saying
Re: Are assumptions always wrong?
well, here is an assumption.
should i, brothers?
Re: Are assumptions always wrong?
here here some **Hamilton Accies **are busy in happy slapping 
Re: Are assumptions always wrong?
Aliyish, who are they and what are they doing? why are they doing this? & why are you laughing?
Re: Are assumptions always wrong?
anybody who needs a simple lesson on inductive, deductive reasoning, please ask.
i would be happy to be of help.

You don't have to be so dogmatic about it, I am not here to impose my opinion, neither do have any plan to correct misconceptions and specially to those whose source of knowledge sifts through "dictionary meanings" of ideas.
