Then you shrugged it off for the right reasons. It doesn't have to be anything at all (my favorite is the ontological argument for the existence of no god- the author adds that for something to have maximal greatness it must achieve everything while being non-existent). There are some things that precede the argument, establishing what constitutes a necessary, or "maximal" entity - we can add whatever we like in there.
It hasn't been narrowed down by the argument, it;s been narrowed down by your notions of how to meet the criteria. Can't state it any more plainly.
