    if you have no issue with what it says then what is your point since all i did was quote what it says in there? My apparent mistake was not to provide the link along with the quote, as you seem to think it was my wording rather than a direct quote

    No, I assumed it was a quote rather than your words, indeed, I said as much.

    But I don't agree that "...does not always apply" means the same as "as a general proposition...", in fact, I would say that the former is likely to mean in less than 50% of cases while the latter means in more than 50%. I agree with the former but not the latter - it would be nonsensical to agree with both.
