Can you expand on what you actually mean by that? I’ve always taken a generalization to mean “a broad statement that is true for the majority (but not all) specific instances of the group”. For instance, one can generalize that humans have 2 arms—this, despite there being a number of exceptions, and the average (mean) values being less than 2.
