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.)

Translator's comment
All the children are lumped together in one class, regardless of their ability.
People tend to lump turtles and tortoises together, when in fact they are different creatures.
