But in my mind you're arguing for arguments sake over minutiae and minor semantics. The point I made still stands.

Oh and in politics you may well hear someone say, well not necessarily the word "overrated", but say "the importance of civil liberties in the fight against terrorism has been overplayed". Overplayed? Who overplayed it? The majority of people? 100 people where I lived? Make it mean what you want, nobody can be bothered to argue forever about the AMOUNT of people who have said something or expressed such and such a view. The point is it has been overplayed generally. As some films have been overrated generally.
