Let's see if the following sentences are correct .It doesn't only apply to hypotheses at all. In fact, I would say it's mainly used to refer to facts (or to statements which the speaker/writer probably thinks are facts).
Given that I am a slightly dumpy 44-year-old, I am unlikely to become a supermodel.
Given that my car is over 23 years old, I doubt it will pass its next MOT.
The statements directly after "given that" are verifiable facts. The second half of the sentences are supposition.
I would say that in probus' example statements, the writer probably believes that his/her statements after "given that" are factual.
Given that he is an aggressive person, he will kill someone .
Given his intelligence , he can become a scientist .
Please check these sentences and rectify them if essential.
Best wishes,
Livon
