That makes the statement false.A true, and similar, statement could be "each worker has worked on this car"Likewise if I stated "each worker is paid $10,000 an hour" and no individual worker is paid that much (although all the workers pay put together may add to that sum) I would be lyingThat is what the word means. Trying to creatively redefine it so that you can lie and claim you're not lying doesn't work.</blockquote>
