The answer is yes, although generalisations of such great magnitude lead to a variety of problems.
'One big problem lies in coming up with a semantics for such generalisations. The central contribution of the thesis consists of the construction of a model-theoretic semantics for unlimited generalisations', says Martin Filin Karlsson.
