    Can someone explain where the notion of an exception proving the rule came from? This has never made the slightest bit of sense to me, lol.

      I remember wrestling with that for years. I dunno, my last interpretation of it was the fact that if it was rare and considered an exception then the rule has a point?

      I dunno. I’m more than likely wrong but that’s as far as I could go with it.
