The phrase "assuming hypothetically" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when discussing a situation or scenario that is not real but is being considered for the sake of argument or analysis.
Example: "Assuming hypothetically that we had unlimited resources, we could complete the project in half the time."
Alternatives: "if we assume hypothetically" or "let's consider hypothetically".
Cf. Arnold, 650 A.2d 1270 at 1277 ("Assuming hypothetically that there had been no partial disclosures as set forth and discussed below, the FAC bid may or may not have been material. We need not address that issue because of our holding that the FAC bid was material in view of the partial disclosures".).
Assuming, hypothetically, that you could find a securities firm willing to grant you such terrific terms, could you buy puts exercisable one year hence at $120 while selling calls exercisable one year hence at $120?
Assuming, hypothetically, that half the corn and soybean acres in the top 10 U.S. agricultural states used cover crops, he found that U.S. farmers could store more than 19 million metric tons of carbon -- the equivalent of taking about 4 million cars off the road.
Assuming hypothetically that the RRR of having side airbags is 30%, and the 1-year automobile non-fatal absolute injury risk is 1.0% or 10/1000 for average drivers over 12,000 miles [ 19], then the reduction in absolute risk would be 3/1000 ((0.30 * 10) injuries/1000 drivers), or 0.3%.
In other words, the measured data was assumed hypothetically for the different locations within latitude 1.0° and 14.0° throughout the year.
Even if it is assumed, hypothetically, that the loss of males is due to selection favoring hermaphrodites and leading to the loss of an allele for male determination [ 89], this is still a short-term, population dynamical process where no evolution of new adaptations or structures occurs.
By using 2006 means for marginal effects of both years, we are assuming a hypothetically constant "representative 2006 individual" at both points in time.
A biased distribution is problematic because the existing methods for extracting transcript information from bacterial RNAseq data are based on Poisson distribution models, which assume a hypothetically even distribution across an entire transcript [ 7, 29].
In considering that question, we are not hypothetically assuming that the object that actually satisfies the reference-fixing description is Saturn.
We also repeated our analyses after hypothetically assuming that a proportion of time considered as routine/non-emergency activities ranging from 0% (that is, equivalent to our main analysis) to 20% (that is, a fifth of on duty time) should have been classified as a specific strenuous duty.
Additionally, to evaluate robustness 27 to potentially unreported cases of sudden cardiac death during routine/non-emergency duties, we repeated our analyses after hypothetically assuming a number of missing sudden cardiac deaths ranging from 0 (that is, equivalent to our main analysis) to 1000 (that is, more than twice the observed total number of events).
