Default Re: blanket decision

Red5, thank you.

>In my opinion, a "blanket decision" is one that covers everything.

You cleared up my question about the meaning of 'blanket'.
By the way, I picked up some examples of 'blanket' + something,
including 'blanket ban', 'blanket prohibition', 'blanket agreement',
'blanket measures' and 'blanket decision' etc.
Looking at these examples and considering that 'blanket' has a meaning 'covering everything'', can I replace 'blanket' in the examples with 'comprehensive'?
