Actually, this is quite an interesting idea, as in paradoxical
(as in it makes the head hurt thinking about it).
But before getting into this, perhaps it can just be side stepped
because "There are exceptions to every rule" is not a rule but a
claim. Either true or false. I suspect it is false. But that a
closely related claim, in the spirit of it, is true, namely that
most rules we use have at least a few reasonable exceptions.
