Thomas, Thomas, Thomas!
Isn't it annoying when you simply can't find a person who is not described
by the two Assumptions?
I suggest that you don't fight it. It really is a great beginning tool for
analyzing human behavior.
Incidentally, the two assumptions of all science are:
"There is an order in the universe."
"The mind of Man can find that order."
You might like to try that - having failed with the Classical Assumptions.
