One that comes to mind for me: “Whatever doesn’t kill you makes you stronger” is not always true. Maybe even only half the time! Are there any phrases you tend to hear and shake your head at?

    The quote doesn’t say it is magic though, actually. It just says, that from our perspective, it’s indistinguishable from magic.

      It does not say from our perspective, it just says they’re indistinguishable. Which is incorrect.

        from our perspective is implied in every sentence ever.

        And no, you can’t expect phrases to “say what they mean”----that would just require them to include more phrases, etc…
