Hmmm... I think there is an implicit "most" in these sentences. Most people like ice cream, so I agree it is pedantic to argue that "people like ice cream" is false. When writing my comment, I guess I had an assumption that most software costs more than $0. After thinking about more, I'm not sure that is true. It think it is probably the case that most software is free to use. Interesting to think about. However, there is a wrinkle in your analogy, which I think may be a driver of some of the intense debate in this comment thread. It's rare for someone to "hate" ice cream -- I actually can't think of anyone I know who does. But it's very common to find software that costs A LOT more than $0. So, in a sense, "software costs $0" is much less true than "people like ice cream". As of right now, I think I'm still on the side of it being more false than true. But I'll admit it is more nuanced than I thought. Regardless, I recant the harshness from my previous comment. Thanks for thoughtfully explaining yourself. I do agree with another sibling commenter that you could have been clearer in your original statement :)
