I applaud the latter, but disagree with the former - and that sort of feeling is what I'm decrying.

OK. That makes sense.
I guess I'm having trouble with the word "presume" when you take it out of black and white (certainly no racial pun intended) on a page of paper and move it into conscious everyday thought. It seems to me that if you presume either way, that in itself is a decision. But that's not worth arguing about -- and also not that easy to explain.
Bottom line is that I can't figure out who's really doing what to whom in this case.
