These universal proclamations have little purpose. Nothing in life is black and white--nothing is simple. These "definitions" carry you further away from understanding. Some things you have to tell yourself "I don't know." Start with a small set of knowns and work outwards. Starting from the top down and making sweeping generalizations guarantees you will maximize the number of things you are wrong about.
