The superpower of presuppositions --- The presupposition (triggered by the definite article 'the') is that these dynamics exist, and the suggestion is that they are identifiable and comparable enough to be readily evaluated, as you say.

Again, I am not bothered at all if you have acquired the habit of using the expressions 'presupposes that' and 'presupposition' for what I might think of as implications or suggestions, so long as you take on board the unique superpower of presuppositions as antecedent facts that hold under negation
