Interesting, we have the same expression in french and it is also commonly misunderstood and has also been traced back to latin ("Exceptio probat regulam in casibus non exceptis") which was a law thing supposed to mean that the mention of an exception implies the existence of a rule. E.g "no parking on Sundays" implies you can park there the other days.
