The hypothesis, the H1 and Ha, the truth, the illustration of the truth, an assumption, an educated guess, a guesstimate, an estimated assumption, a presumption, which is like an assumption except with evidence, which makes it a hypothesis, which is funny, because you don't call anybody "assumptious", you call them "presumptuous", when they crawl out of the woodwork to spout whatever nonsense they be spouting, or maybe you do say assumptious, who am I to assume, really, "assuming" or "assumptive" might be more common, and even then, the Reception's probably got a little more confidence than that, in their theory.

Cycle 1 | Music Video 6: Fuck You
In the time it took it to sing that musical number, you'd have thunk Mirasol would have fought back, right? Well, this video is an analogy. A personification, if you will.
