"Excellent!" I cried. "Elementary." Said he.


Dr. Watson

Why hello there, Yugioh Card Maker. I was invited here by a mysterious character, an automaton, a calculating machine. Never mind the unimportant details, though. Obviously, I am the quite reliable Dr. Watson. I'm relatively rebellious, contrary to popular belief. I really can't think of any more to say at this time. My true self, my inner sarcasm, might reveal itself in the long run, though. This will reveal much more about myself.

Kind sir, do you believe in the power of assumptions?

I do not. In fact, when most assumptions are made I laugh rather heartily.

 

FM6: You will be watching to no avail. There will be nothing of interest coming up.

I assume that you are human.

 

Please laugh heartily.

I said 'most', good sir. I still laughed heartily, as such an assumption would be made only by someone who has the intention of being a smartass.

Well, good sir, it looks like you aren't as dumb as I thought.

 

Now tell me, good sir, if you can put a percentage on the word "most".

Using simple math:

 

80% = 4/5

 

So if I make 5 assumption statements, you must laugh heartily at 4.

 

I assume you are a duplicate account.

I assume you are a human.

I assume you are smart.

I assume you have any sort of intelligence.

I assume that you are not a failure.

 

Bold the one(s) that you didn't laugh at.

And let me ask you one final question: when is assuming the best option?

 

If you answer this correctly' date=' you are smarter than 99% of YCM.

Assuming is only necessary when you have exhausted all other options. When you have gone through every scenario, and you can only imagine what the situation holds. When calculating the next move for yourself, when you have thought of all other ways to go about the situation, and now know none of those options would work, then you may assume. You'd be in the wrong by saying that it would be safe to assume. It is almost never safe to assume.
