the questions we've been examining in this section were more directed towards finding an alternative hypothesis by strengthening/weakening the connection between the phenomenon and the conclusion. This question to me was distinctly different because it directly strengthened a weak phenomena that seemed non-essential, which strengthened the entire argument.

I was confused until I made this distinction. From a pure grammatical standpoint, "Like a genetic profile" is a modifier and actually not a subject. However, when we analyze the logic of the passage it is treated as a subject since a parallel is made between "genetic profile" and "fMRI."

So "Like a genetic profile" is a Logical Subject but not a Grammatical Subject.

I think an assumption is similar to the connective tissue between the muscles and a bone. The muscles would act as the premise(s) and a bone as the conclusion.
