“I don’t particularly want to assert that the subject is large, but it’s easy to talk about it in a messy generalize way, so the subject is large as a result” theory. “It is not my intention to make the subject matter larger, but simply because I have a small sample size for my small world, and the subject matter is larger as a result of constructing the argument within that sample size” theory. As a thinking game, so when you see a “claim with a large subject”, it would be interesting to think “how small can that subject be? The assertion “I am a 00.” is also a great subject in some cases. There may be additional conditions, such as time constraints. When the mind is tired, be especially careful. The judgment “I am already a 00” is an Excessive generalization and is likely to be a “big subject”. When the mind is tired, the vision becomes narrower and the world becomes smaller. https://twitter.com/hyuki/status/1073188980303097856?s=21

Clarification of boundary condition requires thinking. When the thinking cost cannot be raised, omitting the boundary condition results in a larger set.
