If I search ‘feline physiology’, guess how many paws cats HAVE??
Nah, I’m not for any generalisations, they are weak. Modifiers add clarity to communication. Unless you prefer to be a trog!

If a feline loses a paw or had a birth defect, does it cease to be feline?
Modifiers add clarity to communication.
No, it only clogs everything up. To make things easier, we assume "most" to be default.
Consider that "ALL" is also a modifier. The statements "Women are a head shorter than men" and "All Women are always a head shorter than men" are different.
You are wrong for assuming that "all" is the default modifier.
Even in encyclopedias and medical anatomy, "usually" or "most" is the presumed default. Not "all" and "always".
I’m not for any generalisations
You never make generalizations about media, white men, atheists, kikes, blacks etc.? Are you certain?
No, it doesn’t cease to be feline, it becomes a deformed feline.
You have excellent debate skills but you are wrong, so you will be unable to ‘win’ this argument.
ALL is definitely a modifier, which OP should’ve used if that’s what we meant. The comment is so basic and unclear that you need to infer a lot... how you can waste your talents defending that mess is beyond me.
Oh I make generalisations, but I think they are weak when I make them too, and I consciously try not to use them. I use a lot of modifiers, especially when speaking in real life.. and i tend to identify my generalisations eg “this is a generalisation, but jews are the worst.”
Is that all?
ALL is definitely a modifier, which OP should’ve used if that’s what we meant.
Perhaps not using that modifier was intentional.
Do you think there is a noteworthy difference between "women are a half a head shorter than men" and "All women are always half a head shorter than all men"?
Do you genuinely think it's reasonable assume the first statement was intended to be used like the second statement?
