    Or perhaps you’re reading a parlance a little too literally. You’re right, that is what I meant in a literal sense, and it seems like we got there!

    If someone says “redheads are hot,” do you also chime in with “come on now, surely you don’t think a redhead who doesn’t bathe and also is a racist Nazi is hot”?

      if someone said “redheads are hot” i’d say “alright”

      if someone said “all redheads are hot” i’d say “that’s bullshit and you know it”

      one is a generalization the other is an absolute statement
