    Firstly, they are only equal best if there are other people in the race, otherwise they are just equal.

    Secondly, the original point was about 'the best'.

    If you had a class of 30 kids and each scored 80% on an exam (a bit cheating going on perhaps...). Would it be reasonable for any student to claim that he/she was the best in the class?

      Absolutely. I suppose in misery-guts land they are all the worst in the class.

        Probably, and it would be as wrong as the airy-fairy sugar-coated world.

        In the real world, they'd all be equal.

          Moz has his own land? Brilliant!
          I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline
          We watched him fade before our very eyes, and years before his time
