Good point. Sometimes I say 'we' when I mean 'most others', sometimes I say 'we' when I mean 'I' and sometimes I say 'I' when I mean 'I'. I suspect all polite conversation is done in this manner. Certainly political talk is often done in this way. One recent example was when Hastert said we take the blame for this happening.
