Take the 400 wealthiest people in the world. They make 2 gangs, first one is made up of the top 200 richest and the second is made up of the 201-400 richest people.
The first group is the richest of the two. But the 2 groups, as a whole, are made up of the richest people in the world.
It doesn’t, because the ideas contradict each other. The top 200 is the richest. Of course other bigger groups contain it. The earth population is the best, and the worst at any metric.
So then let me ask you this. Why did you agree the top 200 are the richest? Why is 200 such a magic number? By your logic it would actually just be the top 100. No wait top 50. Oh wait no, literally only the richest person is the richest, because you can’t have a bigger group, or else you have to include the entire earth for some reason. Because a bigger group of the category “richest people” contains that single richest person.
So the Republican party isn’t the worst, because there’s a single member of it that is the actual worst. So whoever we vote for is the lesser evil, as long as we don’t vote for literally just the single guy that is the worst. Makes sense right?
Because the original argument didn’t have a number, was R vs D. If R are the most evil, I don’t care if D is the second most evil, it’s a clear choice.
Correct. The group, as a whole, are the most.
Maybe you need a different example to understand.
