I'd argue that it never really means "promise." It's a simple 
statement. In the sense of programming stating something that is 
incorrect will cause erroneous behavior, so you should be sure of 
your statements. In a sense, you "promise" your statements are 
correct otherwise you understand bugs will occur, but the assert 
itself isn't the promise you're making.
