Any time any person on the internet says "this group has this property" and they are not talking about math or other pure-logic topic, you can and should assume they do not mean literally "absolutely every member of this group". This statement included. It would a very bold argument that no one makes, but many people frequently counter-argue against. It's extremely common to see people get themselves worked up arguing fervently against claims no one made.
Keeping this rule in mind will save you and everyone else in the discussions from a long, frustrating, pointless arguments from extremes and semantic nitpicking.
