Well yeah, is there a small number of people in existence who are still driving a 1940s Cadillac? Probably, but generally speaking that number is small enough that we can say "no one" and silently understand that it doesn't literally mean no one.

    In other words, bringing up the "um actually"s on fringe cases like the healer that never DPSs or the healer that only DPSs is just derailing focus away from the bigger issues. Nothing you do will ever eliminate fringe scenarios in an online game. Let's stop pretending that it's a major issue and start focusing on the real problems. That's the point I'm trying to get at.
    Well, saying "no one" means "no one." After all, words mean things. Just say "almost no one." JS.

    Yes but no one likes when people choose to point out the literal every 3 minutes.

    "Can I go to the bathroom?"

    "I don't know, Timmy. Can you go to the bathroom?"

    I could care less about what people "like." Again, words mean things, and if people would actually say what they mean in this world then we'd be a lot better off.
