There is a sense in which nearly all highly general statements are technically false, because they admit of at least some counter examples.
I think this is a common misunderstanding that people are having about what I’m saying. I’m not saying to hunt for a counterexample that demolishes a claim. I’m saying to ask the person making the claim for a single specific example that’s consistent with the general claim.
Imagine that a general claim has 900 examples and 100 counterexamples. Then I’m just asking to see one of the 900 examples :)
