I don't know your son, and I am relieved to know that he grew up.
You seem to be acquainted with stipulating "semantics" on many topics so I presumed that my use was permitted. Now that I know better, I will bow to those that are All Knowing.

Have a great day
I still consider the statement as "scare tactics" since there was no limiting terms used such as "some, instances, percentage, etc."
