TJ,
I must butt in here. The word "all" means "all." There is no wiggle room with such absolute terms.
When a group of over ten people is described about just about anything, the word "all" seldom works. When the group is over a thousand, I would be tempted to say it
never works ... but I don't use such absolute terms so loosely.
I'd advise you to drop the faux surprise at the response you and Matt have gotten from your endorsement of that term. It hurts your argument.
