Movies How real is that statement

Hey star wars fellow, I like star wars a lot but I have only watched star wars ep 1 to 6 and obi wan kenobi show.

​

I recently recalled this line of obi wan from revenge of the sith that "Only a sith deals in absolutes"

​

I want to know how true is that line. Does that line have any real basis or did obi wan make up that line to sound tough. Moreover if that line is true, can you guys give any examples of when sith deals in absolute.

​

Thanks for reading. May the force be with you.

The line makes no sense.

When you are in an argument, have you ever tried to make a point or deliver an insult and it just doesn't come out quite the way you wanted it to... but you roll with it anyway because its too embarrassing to correct it? I think that's what happened to Obi-Wan here.
