I agree.
I use the rule in business discussions and negotiations that those who make claims that their opinion represents everyone are just mischief making, or else they hold an excessively exaggerated opinion of themselves that their opinion is probably worthless. If not worthless, then so very tiresome trying to continue a dialogue with them that it is best to move on without them
