I am talking about an assumption such as one that is ingrained into one's head by their culture before they even know what the word 'assumption' means. It's like in many seemingly impossible problems; what you don't realize is that you're making a wrong assumption. If you don't realize you're making an assumption at all, how can you discover it?

I said, can you *become* aware of it?
