His work takes on a speculative tone because of the recurrent use of phrases such as the following, taken from Origin: "we may suppose," "if we suppose," "we have only to suppose," "we suppose," "let us suppose," "let us now suppose," and "now if we suppose." Darwin made huge inferences and far-reaching assumptions that led to serious error.}}</ref>
