I see your point, but all it takes is one example to the contrary of a statement to disprove it. That's what they call reductio ad absurdem in mathematics or logic. For example, if I say all dogs are vicious, that might come across as an opinion if someone hates dogs, but all one needs to find is a friendly dog, and the statement collapses.
I don't mean to be nitpicky with you, Flipshod. I simply wanted to say that I think overgeneralizing is a fallacy of reasoning. I still enjoy Caitlin's work, and I appreciate your remark.
