There's a difference between believing something is true and having a proof.

Alice: let's assume P==NP
Bob: that's bullshit
Alice: humor me
Bob: no
Alice: I have a proof that P!=NP
Bob: I already know that
Alice: You don't, you just guess, I have a proof
Bob: whatever, go away
Bob: P is False, there's no point
Alice: It's just a starting point for my argument
Bob: And what are you trying to go with your argument?
Alice: A proof by contradiction
Bob: A proof by contradiction assumes not(X), shows that it leads to a contradiction, therefore proving not(X) is false, and X is true. In this case assuming P to perform proof by contradiction means you will prove P is False. If that's all you want to do, there is no need as I am already in agreement that P is false.
