Doubt is cast on the reality of the following four assumptions commonly made in the treatment of extragalactic radio sources: (1) The central engine is a black hole; (2) Electrons can be accelerated in situ in the knots and heads of the jets, to large Lorentz factors γ ≥ 102, with an efficiency exceeding 30%; (3) The (non-thermal) radiation emitted by the beam fluid is isotropic in some (comoving) Lorentz frame; and (4) The flow velocity in the jets of SS 433 is v = 0.26 c.
