Very true, which is why I said "tend to". I like to avoid absolutes.

Yes, avoiding absolutes is especially vital in the sort of debates we have. It means you don't get backed into a corner, because you can redact your statements if need be.

No, that's not the reason. I'm just old enough (well, closer to being old than young anymore) to know (and appreciate) that there are exceptions to nearly everything.

Even the above statement.

That is effectively what I said, but in a different way.

It isn't really. There is a difference between keeping a get out cause as a safety net in case of bejng proved wrong and knowing you may be fallible from the outset. Which may be the result of age, though there have been some astonishingly mature entings here while some displaysof childish petulance can be ascribed to those of riper years... so I should refrain from endorsing whoever it was who said that they weren't young enough to know everything.

I did say effectively, as 'Nothing is absolute' and 'Make sure you remember nothing is absolute as to not get backed into a corner for forgetting' are very similar.

I don't think age matters at all, as I have seen mature young people, and immature older people.

We may have to pink hat this as I think there is a clear distinction in intention if not action.

Mithalwen hit the nail on the head.
