Postulation is usually part of an explanation and evidentials are use to indicate the source of something you are claiming. Supposing, on the other hand, is not claiming anything (it is the opposite -- on the list -- of "in fact') and is being explicitly used for tentative or experimental investigations. It seems to be what is wanted for indirect proofs, for example, which seems to be what is involved here. The un{da'i} is {da'inao} not {ki}, probably.
