A valid generalization is based on the observation of several situations and is concordant with facts in every case. In the example sentence, the evidence about the growth of massive corals has been determined after extensive study and research.

2.   instead of describing how perfect his love is or comparing her to other beautiful things, he says she is average and there is nothing special about her.   at the last 2 lines of the poem, the volta changes the poem by saying that even though his love is average in beauty, his love for her is special and unique. so instead of praising her throughout the whole poem, he contrasts her average characteristics with his special love for her.
