I REALIZE that he's giving his own view--what I was trying to point out is 
that I think it's kind of ridiculous to have an argument about who is the
best guitarist because it IS such a personal judgement. 

Comments like "Oh he's not as good as so and so" are what I'm talking
about. It's kind of a ridiculous thing to say because you can't prove
it--a comment like "so and so is also good" would be a lot more appropriate
than trying to say "so and so" is *THEE* best.
