Sure, I wasn’t exactly precise. There are always some level of exception. But my point is that what most people call an exception is usually an excuse.
I find it very annoying when people like you feel that every single statement has to be globally true or else it can’t be said. The spirit of what I said remains what I mean - 99% of people can achieve this. If you need to trot out cancer patients to win the argument, then great job. But I think you know what I meant.
