Well obviously. But one of the defining qualities of an independent thinker is the ability to come to independent conclusions. Saying all independent thinkers must come to this conclusion to be considered independent seems somewhat silly. I can't believe I actually have to explain this.

Well, that is because their are a lot of unstated premises with all of the made statements (mine included). The danger lies in the assumption that others will just pick up on those premises.
