It is all about assumptions

I was reading on a frugality/tightwadding website this morning. Under the cooking and recipe sections was a post titled "Mole". Since it WAS on a frugality site, my first thought was that the thread was somehow related to how to cook the animal. (An interesting juxtaposition, I thought, as the next thread was about being vegan.) The thread was about mole, the mexican sauce. Ah, how our assumptions can mislead us! This one was quickly set right. But how many assumptions do I make, and act on, that are wrong? This morning's assumption led to a little harmless merriment. Some other assumptions may lead to real harm.
