Translator's comment
A blanket statement is one that attempts to cover all situations ("like a blanket") but is actually not true in all situations. For example: "Peanuts are good for you." (For most people, they're nutritious food; but they're not good for you if you're seriously allergic to them, as some people are.) "Major sports are cancelled if it rains." (Usually yes, but not necessarily; if it's just raining lightly, the game may go on.)
