[QUOTE="FactChecker, post: 5838278, member: 500115"] My two cents: [I]Axiom[/I]: A statement that will be assumed true without question in the following discussion. Can be used at will. The goal is to determine what would follow from the axioms, rather than to question the axioms. [I]Conjecture[/I]: A statement that is believed to be true. The case for and against its truth will be examined. [I]Hypothesis[/I]: A statement whose truth needs to be questioned and tested. There is less implied belief in it than in a conjecture. In fact, it may be something that is believed to be false and is expected to be disproved. The distinction between conjecture and hypothesis is not formally defined. [/QUOTE]
