Not at all. You are trying to make that other man's words come out of my mouth. You might have noticed by now that I didn't make the original statement, I simply affirmed its validity as a general principle, and continue to do so despite your efforts to discredit it by focusing on exceptions.

The original statement was not proffered seriously, but rather as sarcasm precisely because copious exceptions belie the validity of the general principle.
