You don't understand.

He may be divorced, widowed, polygamous: We don't know. We can assume things but we stick to the essential because once we start assuming something something, it will only lead to more and more assuming, then more inaccuracy, eventually arguments on pointless subjects and creation of fan-made contents: For example, it was believed that many mutates' children powered were consequently mutants, but it is not the case, proved by in-comics and by authors (cf. Mutant Genetics)

So the rule (we're still writing a policy) is to stick to what is known and assume the less.
