It would probably be well (and maybe even accurate?) to assume that statements in response to a particular node or question are context-sensitive; in other words, that you may wish to read replies as if they include the disclaimer "in this case, YMMV for other cases" or something similar
the writer has explicitly asserted that the statement is "generally" or "universally" true.
Or maybe I should just include even more disclaimers. :-(
or, maybe, ... :-;
?
