No matter what "they" say, one size never fits all. We see things advertised like this everywhere. It is truly more about selling more than the satisfaction of the customer. People who are selling have learned that the consumer has learned after all these years to get by with whatever it is that is being offered. But, the truth is my head is bigger, or smaller, than some other people. And my hands don't match the one size fits all fingers in gloves. Stuff is mostly about getting by with whatever these days.
Sometimes it seems that this attitude has spilled over into the church. People in the church no longer demand sound Biblical doctrine. Or, maybe it is more that the we have become so acclimated to how the secular culture is defining Biblical truth that we no longer really know for ourselves what the Bible is actually saying. There are folks out there who will tell us that one size glove fits every hand and there are also folks out there in the church disguised as dispensers of God's Word who are quick to give us a version that fits their needs which in their mind should fit fine for everyone else as well.
Actually, one size never fits all. And, even more so, Biblical truth is Biblical truth, not someone's version of it. What is needed in some places are not more educated and bright teachers of truths that do not hold water, but folks who are willing to sit down with the Word of God and find out for themselves what it is really saying. Such does not require a set of commentaries, or an ordained preacher. All it requires is an open Bible and a willingness to let the Holy Spirit do the the leading. For some one who has never taken this journey, it will be both surprising and life changing.
