Aquinas: [T]he maximum in any genus is the cause of all in that genus; as fire, which is the maximum heat, is the cause of all hot things. Therefore there must also be something which is to all beings the cause of their being, goodness, and every other perfection; and this we call God.

A bachelor has a least dirty shirt in his apartment, which is a tautology, but it does not follow that he has a clean shirt. The being with the greatest perfection is not necessarily a being with infinite perfection.
