Reassert

The same as assert, but the speaker thinks that the claim has already been made, and indicates it. [1][2]


Example (1):

-Explainee: Why hasn't near 0% interest done this to the USD?
-Explainer: (Reassert)[As already mentioned, the relationship between inflation, interest rates and currency value is very complex. Inflation in the US has been low. Explaining that is a topic in itself, but maybe it'll suffice to say that the economies of Turkey and the US are very different. The United States' institutions, particularly the fed, are trusted to keep the dollar fairly stable in value, and they have the funds and economic strength to achieve this (barring some really big problem). The US dollar also has a special advantage known as "seigniorage" due to its central position in the world economy. I don't know enough about this to say how important it is here though. If inflation rates do rise in the US it's likely there'll be a rise in interest rates. This is occurring in the UK, which also has very low rates, at the moment.]
