What about the situations of "All humans have hair at all times during their lives", "All humans have hair at some time during their lives", etc.?


Also, I'd say context is just as important as the actual statement in interpreting it.

I.e. [alien biologist, upon coming upon an unidentified hairless specimen, to colleague insisting it's human] "Humans have hair."

not really the same as: [alien biologist, upon coming upon an unidentified hairy specimen, to colleague insisting it's not human] "Humans have hair."
