While true, such references are usually not used to communicate 
something complex in a quick way, I'd guess.  As in, when people say 
"It's only a flesh wound", they're really not saying "It's actually an 
awful mortal wound, but I'm so dedicated to my cause I'm going to ignore 
it." Instead, they really mean "it's only a flesh wound."
