Is the assumption that every time a ? is present in a URL that it's
dynamic?

We use parameters after a ? for reporting, to tell us about the
referral site or where someone clicked on our site. The content never
changes because of the parameters, but we end up getting a lot of
duplicate indexing. Googlebot thinks these are unique URLs:

.html
.html?click=rss
