How to use "Over statements" in context?
Overstatement occurs when an individual or group makes a statement that is apparently too strong or too unfounded. Oftentimes, overstatements are made in order to make an argument more persuasive or to gain support from others. However, overstatements can also have negative consequences.
For example, an overstatement might be made if a person claims that they can finish a entire project in one day when in fact it will likely take longer than that. Such a statement could have the unintended (and harmful) consequence of provoking aProjectFinishInDay Challenge from friends or coworkers, which would ultimately not be possible to accomplish.
