generalizar (em excesso/excessivamente)


Explanation:
Entretanto, eu creio que "generalizar" é suficiente no contaxto de PT-BR.
"Generalizar em excesso" é redundância e sempre me lembra as mensagens dos governos militares mandando algum projeto para o Congresso em caráter de "urgência urgentíssima".
