Maybe you could propose some kind of syntax using "whereas"? (It can be
used as a preamble.)

I'd need well-reasoned explanations
My reasoning is essentially the same as what I've already said about "where". To summarise, "given" sounds like something an English-speaking mathematician would write, whereas ":=" doesn't even have an obvious pronunciation. Some variation on "given" just seems greatly more pythonic to me.
