This paper offers three objections to Leslie's recent and already influential theory of generics (Leslie in Philos Perspect 21(1):375-403, 2007a, Philos Rev 117(1):1-47, 2008): (i) her proposed metaphysical truth-conditions are subject to systematic counter-examples, (ii) the proposed disquotational semantics fails, and (iii) there is evidence that generics do not express cognitively primitive generalisations.
