The idiotic statement is yours. If the "sometimes" is important to you, you can have it - you can retreat behind adjectives as much as you want, you're not the first person on the internet to use such word games.

But unless you can come up with a very detailed list of when it's acceptable "to lock people down and physically prevent them from harming themselves" and when it's not acceptable, and I don't think you have such a list, "sometimes" just means "whenever I, as the person writing the software judge", rendering it completely meaningless.
