I stumbled upon a role played question and came up with an unanswered question. Here it is:

Assumptions are always known as "implicitly" implied. So does this mean that whenever an actual claim's role within the argument is being asked about, then the answer to the question can never say something a long the lines of "it is an assumption on which the argument depends"?

I figured that if some claim is an assumption, then it would not have explicitly been said to start with?

Please help!

thanks
