His "concisely worded statement" rings hollow...

Thought experiment for you.
Let's say you ran a deli. In your deli you carry a number of sausage varieties from different producers. One day a customer comes in to your deli and asks you to recommend them a sausage. You like all the sausages you carry, but you also have some preferences. You suggest sausage X, as it is your personal favorite. The customer asks about sausage Y. You don't recommend sausage Y over sausage X, but you'll sell it to them anyway. In other words, while you carry and sell sausage Y, as some customers seem to like it, you don't necessarily endorse it as your personal preference. Is that still being inclusive of sausage Y? Or should you have to personally endorse every sausage you carry in order to be inclusive?
Coincidentally I am eating some primo summer sausage as I write this.
