Is there a term/word/concept for this.

When someone won’t believe or won’t let you induct from anything that is not explicitly stated. Or won’t believe something unless explicitly stated.

Ex. If someone avoids dogs, gets uncomfortable around them, doesn’t have allergies, they’re fine with other animals, hates the sound of them, doesn’t like pictures of them etc, my saying or believing “they don’t like dogs” or “they probably don’t” is over reaching or unreasonable because they never stated that they don’t like dogs.

It sounds a little like pedantry, which myself and a lot of people are work are guilty of (because it's necessary for our work), but we always recognise and make fun of it in ourselves when we do it socially.
