Philosophically speaking, isn't it better for everyone to know that their "best" is better than the rest? Therefore, everyone will strive to be better than everyone else and the world would be a better place? By better, I mean to actually improve by some standard (it may be your own values or whatever), not *just* to compete and beat someone else. Of course, people will now probably argue over the definition of "better" and miss my point entirely.

I should probably note that the title of this post comes from "Sexy Ladies/Let Me Talk To You Prelude" from Justin Timberlake's FutureSex/LoveSounds.
