1. A tentative explanation for an observation, phenomenon, or scientific problem that can be tested by further investigation.
2. Something taken to be true for the purpose of argument or investigation; an assumption.
3. The antecedent of a conditional statement.
It can be assumed true for the sake of argument, that does not mean that it is true. Anyone who thinks that it is, does so by faith.
