I still do not dig that axiom, you mean something like: You cannot predict what feelings or actions follow from thinking. Eh, do I know what others think in the first place? And why add the word "cognitive", might aswel just say thinking.
So any assumption is equally valid as an axiom? Proof is unnecessary? Bah! Why bother?
In case it wasn't apparent, sarcasm is yet another free service I offer.
