If somebody tells us something, we make assumptions about their motivations for doing so.
But if they do not say anything to us, we make another set of assumptions to satisfy our need to know and to replace actual communication.
Even when we hear something we do not understand, we make assumptions about what it meant, and then go on to convince ourselves that it is the truth.
