No, he was talking about perfection. This is why it’s known as ‘the degrees of perfection argument’.

Boru

So, he wasn't saying "If there are two things which have some property to a larger and a smaller extent, there has to be a thing which has that same property to a maximal possible degree."? I am quite sure he was saying that, he even used hotness and fire as an example.
