How does one differentiate between a generalisation statement and truthful fact? It seems to be this unanswerable problem from the NT world. If I make a statement such as men are generally taller then woman, wouldn’t it be silly for someone to say it isn’t true because they know loads of tall woman are taller then most men. But that what happens, they show me common or less common exceptions to the rule that is suppose to contradict my logic completely.
How does one work out how tall men have to be generally before it is considered a fact and not an unfair generalization. Do we work this out with fractions or do we take into consideration whether woman want to be considered smaller.
