You can just refer to the edge cases or caveats (so it's clear you are aware of them) and let the interviewer follow up on them if they want to. This makes the interview a bit more conversational and helps build rapport with the interviewer.

That's generally what I do, I bring things up just to handwave them away and acknowledge that they're there.

The problem is, of course, that even handwaving things away, there's still a near-infinite number of potential caveats for any given subject, and I always feel a compulsion to list all of them. I did bother a friend of mine last night in order to get him to tell me how much of my rambling is tolerable so hopefully I have a better handle on it now.
