lsatquestions,
"Certain" is precisely a restriction on the species talked about, not a blanket statement about all of them.
Compare:
"Everyone needs iron supplements to be healthy."
"Certain people need iron supplements to be healthy."
The first statement is clearly about everyone, but the second statement is surely not about everyone. The second statement does not specify the range of application (maybe pregnant women would be the certain people? People with bleeding disorders who need extra iron? Who knows?), but it's definitely restricting the range of application of the statement by using the word "certain".
