Yeah, and that shows why this exhaustive list of assumptions is rarely made. It is useful after you realized the argument was wrong, but that isn't the critical point in time. The critical point is when evaluating the argument before you act on it. Listing 1000 assumptions that are 99% confident doesn't help evaluate whether the argument is true. Focusing on the uncertain assumptions is much more valuable.
