I never said everything to everyone.   
I said -  'everything to as many as we can'.

I am afraid I disagree with “more things to more people”.   That can be satisfied by making two things  understandable to two people.    That is progress (some) but not a goal. 

and to not do what "we can” (where we leave “that we can” completely undefined) seems to be - well - not even doing what we can — which is much less than what needs to be done and less than what we know how to do.
