I may have been too general. There is one model that is best at handling
pounding forces without breaking up. There is one model that is best at
being steady in rough water. There is one model that uses the wind best.
There is one model that has the best living accomodations, etc.
How do you measure "best living accomodations"? For two? Two plus two
children? Two plus two teens? Six? Six plus one dog? There cannot be a
"best" because what is "best" for one person is not for another, there
is no ruler or scale against which you can measure this.
Which is best, the Mona Lisa, or the Night Watch? One is bigger, the
other is worth more, whose yardstick are you going to use? Why is one
yardstick more valid than the other? It is not possible to be objective
over some things. As Jere says, the measurer will have some bias, and
this will affect their ability to measure.
For further discussion on this topic perhaps you might like to sign up
for a philosophy course at your local college.
