Once again, I would encourage you to make your arguments directly, rather than with analogies.
I've been trying to get you to define your concepts well enough that an argument can be made. But, at this point, the concept of 'greater' is too vague to do anything else with: there are simply too many interpretations of that word that are mutually contradictory.
Unless you define the term, you cannot know there is a greatest.
So then, you switch from arguing against to pleading ignorance?
edit: Are you saying that their are interpretations, that are not contradictory, and incoherent? Wouldn't the principle of charity say that you should argue against those, rather than trying to make the argument irrational?
