assumers
People who presuppose
Assumers are people who assume—those who take something for granted without verification, or who take on responsibilities or roles.
The word usually appears in contexts criticizing premature conclusions: Assumers often get it wrong.
Less commonly, it refers to those who assume power or duties.
