In my opinion, to say that some nouns are always countable (or non-countable) would not be provably true, and is therefore a potential lie.
Maybe in the beginning (as a learner is slowly making progress) it makes sense to be that categorical. The last thing I myself want is lie to my students. I'd rather be reticent about it than later be censured.
