A commonplace assertion is an assertion that is held to be true by most people but not backed up with facts.
Examples:
Milk is good for you.
America is the most free country on Earth.
You will get cramps if you swim right after you eat.
Clichés, platitudes, truisms, banalities.

Simple answers are not as commonplace as simple questions. Snails are commonplace in some gardens.

The part of the hand used in making assertions is the palm.

"The Practical" was written by Joseph Schwab. In it he describes the four commonplaces of education: Learner commonplace, Teacher commonplace, Subject matter commonplace and Milieux commonplace.
In Frederick Douglass's famous speech "What to the Slave Is the Fourth of July?", a commonplace assertion is the idea that freedom and justice are universally valued ideals. Douglass emphasizes the hypocrisy of celebrating liberty in a nation that practices slavery, highlighting the stark contrast between the principles of the Declaration of Independence and the reality faced by enslaved people. This assertion serves to challenge the audience's complacency regarding the nation's values and calls for a deeper reflection on true equality and justice.
Loons are not commonplace here. Children are quite commomplace at Disneyland.
In 'A Study in Scarlet': "The most commonplace crime is often the most mysterious, because it presents no new or special features from which deductions may be drawn." In 'The Sign of Four': "Crime is commonplace, existence is commonplace, and no qualities save those which are commonplace have any function upon earth." In 'The Red-Headed League': "As a rule, the more bizarre a thing is the less mysterious it proves to be. It is your commonplace, featureless crimes which are really puzzling, just as a commonplace face is the most difficult to identify." In 'A Case of Identity': "Depend upon it there is nothing so unnatural as the commonplace." In 'The Boscombe Valley Mystery': "Singularity is almost invariably a clue. The more featureless and commonplace a crime is, the more difficult is it to bring it home." I think that about covers it.
