Yes, of course. I don't think anyone is denying that - quite the reverse, people who argue /against /Bruno often do so on the basis of unexamined metaphysical assumptions (like primary materialism)

And the contrary, that primary materialism is false, is just as much an unevidenced metaphysical assumption.
