Your response is irrelevant to the topic at hand. A non sequitur.

@K_Michael

The original text, as written in my round 1 of our debate [regarding who should be the authority to determine the number of simultaneous debates we would be allowed to engage]: "Is that person the superlative debate participant, both in quality of debate and the number of simultaneous debates engaged?"

Is context really so difficult to conceive for the usage of "superlative?" Maybe you're using an inferior dictionary [or a more inferior Google]. My OED offers not just grammar & definition, but complete historic etymology. That's why the unabridged version is fully 20 volumes, and supplied with a magnifying glass because the print is a 6-point font.

There are many definitions of "need," however, what I'm mainly concerned with is that "need" is often used in a connotation that isn't entirely accurate to the dictionary definition. It isn't immediately clear by the context of the phrase which definition Pro is using.

@K_Michael

Still looking to have someone else define for you, huh? Start with looking up "I can't," since you believe it is a good attitude. It isn't. The issue is not "I can't." It's "I won't."

Great topic

@User_2006

Define "need." Do you mean "has to or else ____," or what?
