Given the premise, is the hypothesis presenting a conflicting viewpoint? Premise: This sort of misnomer leads Carnegie to suppose that  to the uninitiated no map is so misleading as that of West Australia where lakes are salt-bogs without surface water, springs seldom run, and native `wells' are merely tiny holes in the rock, yielding from 0 to 200 gallons.  Hypothesis: People not familiar with Western Australia would read a map and find the actual results to be misleading.
