What pre-suppositions are hiding in your questions?

Dr. Adam S. Froerer, Katalin Hankovszky and Annie Bordeleau Introduction Looking closely at the title of this piece, what assumptions are embedded in there? The author seems to assume that there are “pre-suppositions” in your questions and that you are not always aware of them, that they are not visible. What else? (A very SF question, assuming there is more). “Don’t make assumptions” is a well-known sentence these days and if you stop to look at it, it is full of assumptions! It assumes that you make assumptions in the first place and that you can stop making them.
