This is a really quite important point. You’ve probably heard of answer choices being “too strong,” but what the hell does that mean? It’s almost certain that this sort of answer contains an ABSOLUTE statement: never, only, always, best, and such like.

The problem here is that absolutes are next-to-impossible to prove: for example, can you prove that something is ALWAYS the case? What about that time when it isn’t? Gee… oops! NOT ABSOLUTE.
Only if you can prove definitively that this is the BEST approach can you choose it. What about that other one that might be better? See what I’m getting at here?
