  Exactly. You're making my point valid. You're comparing strength, true? Ok
_how_ do you do such a comparison? Before comparing, you need to define what
you're comparing so, how do you define strength.
  I'm not saying your opinion is not valid, of course.
  But it's just a non-provable opinion. Unless you define precisely, and state
the rules you follow for the comparison (for an example, see Christophe's
definition), you can't _prove_ anything.
