No, that is not what I am saying, Steve. Only quantities can be compared. You can't compare, for example, red and green, and ask which is more. So before a quantitative comparison is to be made one must have settle the appropriate means of quantification and the practical means of comparison. The resulting claim then is meaningful: "Cats are heavier than mice."Hi Andy, Let me see if I am grasping your point.Let me begin by agreeing with what I see as your premise. I agree that two things can only be compared when compared to a relevant third.
