Hyperbole, in opposition to someone presenting an "alternative", which 
is rank bullshit.

Or, as emphasis about how other "suggestions" have all failed.

Or, babbling about things they actually have no bloody clue about, but 
think they know something about, because they have a degree in some 
entirely different field (more commonly called "psuedoscientists", when 
they apply this logic). This last case is a bit like someone claiming 
they are an expert in nuclear physics, based on their extensive practice 
with the Culinary Institute of America, making bombes.

Sadly, this happens a bit to often, in some fields, especially physics, 
engineering, and computer science.
