Generalism may help paint ourselves into nice little circles for easy digestion by our brains but let's at least give it a fight :-)
Everyone in Japan would say quality was equal to perfection, so I'd probably say nobody in Japan is a Samurai anymore who needs a bow.
So you do agree that people keep changing and at any point cannot be generalized
