You might want to try and comprehend the qualifier "pretty-much".
"Pretty much universal" is still an overstatement, even with the
qualifier.
It was qualified. If you happen to think that the qualifier implies a
specific percentage, then good for you. If you also happen to think that the
aforementioned percentage was inaccurate, then good for you again.
Personally, I don't give a toss. I was simply using the term to describe
something - it wasn't intended to be a mathematically perfect treatise on
the subject.
