No assumption holds for all environments. Posh example: Axiom of choice.

  There are definitely some assumptions that hold for all environments. For instance, "all resources are finite".

    Aye, but in many cases a theoretical limit can be ignored in practice. (Stupid example: I need more cooling = "I need more fans", not "I'm running out of air".)

      Finite resources are a common problem though.

        Stupidity is known to be infinite. And it is a resource.

          I dispute the infinity of stupidity! It can only be infinite on an infinite timeline, as there are a finite number of people at any given time! But is time infinite?
