When people communicate they speak in terms of the overwhelming generality of reality. There's always at least one guy that is an extreme exception.

I can tell you this, the person you're replying to comes from the overwhelming majority/generality. You, on the other hand, are that one guy.

Of course even my comment is a bit general. You're not "one" guy literally. But you are an extreme minority that is small enough such that common English vernacular in software does not refer to you.
