Universal means more than "ALL". dont pick out parts of a definition to suit your own needs. Rogets II thesaurus(all i have here) Universal-So pervasive and all-inclusive as to exist in or effect the whole world. looking at that, i have to say water as a solvent lives up to that definition. Your thinking in the lines that if water is a "universal" solvent, then the universe should be disolved and all of us non-polar lipidized weed growin people shouldnt even be here. no way. a semantical play on words as between "most" or "all" in the universal sense is irrelevent. the world is your chemistry set but dont limit your spectrum of view like the hps bulb hangin in your closet and miss out on the cool chemicals in the back. type those two words in your search bar and see what you get. and thats whats in klereX kuri, chemicals.
