Actually it is because we are dealing with an factual data point (I), rather than someone using hyperbole by saying something is ONLY used for x. one data point proves that wrong

One data point disproves that it can't be used for purposes other than tax evasion and money laundering, it doesn't disprove that is commonly used for this purpose and little else.
