Ditto for "never," "always" and other such definitive words. In fairness, I think that what the linguistically lazy are really trying to say is that a little bit of a bad thing isn't going to kill you.

She chirped a quiet but definite message, and everyone in the room understood she was not done with life yet. But in birds they eat living tissue, and once they are internal will kill the patient. Within a few hours we had cleaned it, picked it clean of maggots, and treated it for any residual maggots or their eggs.

He asked whether cows, chickens, sheep and some of the other animals that we eat are usually treated and killed in a humane manner. The meat industry will say yes, of course, all animals are treated and killed humanely. The eventual kill is quick, clean, and painless. It's a thoughtful question I wish more people would ask.
