Yes it is, Very Sound Counsel.
However I don't use the word 'Assume' as many years ago I used it will trying to explain to my boss why something wasn't done as he'd requested (I was going to be off and I delegated the task to those who would be working and they didn't do the task).
The boss whipped out a pen and a piece of paper and wrote this:
Ass U Me and said, All that word does is make an Ass out of You and Me!
Unless I'm writing this true tale I never use that term. I use 'Presume'. :shrug:
