Generalization quibble is, for instance: when it is said, 'Medicine is for pacifying disease,' the opponent says: 'Why do you say that an existent thing is for pacifying an existent thing? For disease is an existent thing, and medicine is an existent thing; and if an existent thing is for pacifying an existent thing, then cough being an existent thing, and wasting being an existent thing, because of their shared existence, cough would pacify your wasting.' / This is generalization quibble.
