Even if theism is a failure, it's still superior to atheism

I didn't claim we should reject observation altogether, lol. We simply don't need it to deduce from observed trees that there is a tallest tree. Namely, we don't need to see the tallest tree.

"There is 'a' tallest tree" implies that there exists one tree that is the tallest tree, solely.

If all trees are the same height then there does not exist 'a' tallest tree.

True enough, but I was making the point that without observation, it is nonsensical to determine IF there is a tallest tree.
