> a key assumption that the samples need to be drawn i.i.d. from a single underlying probability distribution, or perhaps need to satisfy the related assumption of being exchangeable
Unfortunately this kind of key assumption is rarely made explicit when teaching people stats. I see research papers all the time making this assumption where it clearly isn't warranted - such as in benchmarking a computer.
