I am not sure what you are trying to ask. You have to make assumptions, but false assumptions lead to wasted time.
Example: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eratosthenes The Greeks assumed the Earth was a globe and calculated the diameter. The Chinese did the same experiment, but they assumed the Earth was flat and calculated the altitude of the sun. The Chinese were never known for a desire to explore the planet, and didn't even have a navy for a long time.
