There is no true conclusion in these reasonings: I am richer than thou, therefore I am better: I am more eloquent than thou, therefore I am better. But the conclusions are rather these: I am richer than thou, therefore my wealth is better: I am more eloquent than thou, therefore my speech is better. But thou art not wealth, and thou art not speech.
These arguments do not lead to valid conclusions: I am richer than you, therefore I am better. I speak better than you, therefore I am better. The correct conclusions are these: I am richer than you, therefore my wealth is better. I speak better than you, therefore my speech is better. But you are not your wealth, and you are not your speech.
