You can argue against the generalization if it’s wrong. If it’s not wrong your best bet is to stand by why the framework is good despite the correctness of the generalization.

It’s a cheap but affective method to use details to attack generalizations. However the insidious thing about generalizations is that details can be dismissed as noise irrelevant to the main point. A real argument against a generalization is another generalization, with supporting evidence.
