Facts, Possible-facts and Bedrock Assumptions There is one more thing. The Thinker will articulate one of three kinds of assumptions. You have to determine which kind it is. It will be one of the following: a fact (‘I am not the boss; he is’); a possible-fact (‘The boss might laugh at me or think I am stupid’); a bedrock assumption about the self (‘I am stupid’) or about how life works (‘It is not all right to get it wrong’).
