"Always" means "always", if you do not want people to understand it that way, 
please pick another word and do not blame others for reading what you wrote.

How lame is that? You can place that phrase in any discussion and it does not 
mean/add anything.

Answering a question with a question, nice.

You call me a nitpicker because you used the word "always" and I understood it 
the only way it can be, i.e. "always"? Honestly, that's lame. "Always" is 
absolute, there is no room for interpretation.

Exaggerating to not have to admit that "always" is a word easily replaced by a 
less absolute word like e.g. "often" if one did not intend to state "always". 
It's just too obvious.
