If you believe it's an actually property, I offer the following argument.
All possible levels and instances of greatness require a basis.
The only possible basis to all possible levels and instance of greatness is ultimate greatness.
Greatness exists in reality and is not simply a matter of subjective perception.
Therefore ultimate greatness exists.
1 and 2 fail as unproven and vague premises, hence, the rest of such argument crumbles. Exempli gratia:
1 All men that wear hats are from mars.
2 I wear a hat
3 Therefore I am martian
The opposite of 1 is all levels of greatness and instances of greatness don't require a basis. That sounds illogical though and seems completely false. How can they simply exist without a basis?
