7. WRONG: "The world's elite get together every year ..." People get together.
My point is that there are specific individual actors and they are identifiable. Who gets together with whom? How can you back up a statement like this, "The world's elite get together every year to plot out what is going to happen"? Maybe, you have the guest list? If a statement is about specific persons, places, times, etc., it is meaningful.

Generalities are useful, but they only go so far. We are left with ambiguity, and that can be overcome with names, places, who does what.
