[quote name='Sauce XIV' date='Dec 7 2007, 05:52 PM' post='50085']Point, the second: If he were superior to everyone here combined including myself, would he not be superior to everyone here excluding myself?[/quote]Huh?[/quote] Here's the real point, so here's where I explain.
Let's say there are five people in this thread. They're A, B, C, me, and Leyviur. Let's say I'm made of 50 win (the real number's higher), A's made of 5 win, B's made of 3 win, and C's made of 12 win, while Leyviur's made of 100 win. Let's take a look at everyone else combined. 50 + 5 + 3 + 12 = 70 win; therefore, Leyviur is made of more win than everyone else in this thread combined.
Now, let's take a look at everyone else combined, excluding myself. 5 + 3 + 12 = 20 win. Therefore, Leyviur is still made of more win than everyone else in this thread, excluding myself. In fact, by saying Leyviur is made of more win than everyone else in this thread combined, excluding myself, I make absolutely no explicit statement about our relative level of win one way or the other.
