generalized
This term carries a clinical or academic weight, often appearing in medical diagnoses or scientific research to describe a condition or a rule that affects the whole system rather than a localized area. It suggests a broadening of scope, moving from the specific to the universal. In a critical context, the word can imply a logical fallacy. When someone is accused of generalizing, it suggests they have oversimplified a complex situation by ignoring important nuances and applying a narrow observation to everything else.
