Sometimes that sort of precision adds too much length. If you see an easily-fixed problem with an argument, it behooves you to point out the fix in the same comment as the problem.
I think that is fair. That would be the reasonable thing to do in a debate.
Precision in this case is not any longer (i.e. always vs typically). It can at times, but for people down with logic, you'd think always versus there exists, etc. would be a big deal.
Actually in this instance it's made more precise just by leaving out the word "always".
Hmm, you don't think omitting it also implies all schools do it?
No, compare "cats have fur" vs "cats always have fur".
