      It’s the Exception that proves the rule, is it not?

      I wish the majority or at least a lot of people were like Mr. Rogers, but truth is, he was exceptional.

        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.
