I'm not convinced that being true redeems any and every statement. For example you can lay out a case for eugenics unacceptable in almost any moderated forum while only making true statements.
As for the linguistic element in your question, "X is Y" in conversation typically means "X at large", allowing for some anomalies but otherwise making a statement about the whole group.
- namshub 6y agoSelective ignorance is a dangerous strategy... Far better to evaluate the facts as fully as possible and find the actual reasons for and against. However a straightforward argument for eugenics is probably not very accurate or broad in its consideration. In that sense I guess it could be inaccurate or true but incomplete and/or misleading on its own.
