Because always/never are absolutes that are either very easy or very hard to see through. For example, 'I will never die', 'I will never tell a lie', 'I will never eat a pie' all suffer through this despite dying being the most implausible. And it gets worse as we get most abstract:

'Machine will always know where to go from here on now'.
