He/she/it believes, or is made to believe in an ordering.
Third son can give orders to first daughter, even if he is
much younger. In school, doctor(=teacher) can punish pupil,
beating on the fingers.
That's not a Korean speciality, even between nations you have a
ranking like this, for example money : state of USA lowest =greatest
depts. Or education : North Korea highest (see Ermanno Furlanis

and so Kim must be the most educated. Is he still bachelor, mina_?
He is in love with Anne Frank, but that is a different area).
mina_ , Your example translated:
(1 gold + 1 silver)- 1 silver = 1 gold > no medals in Olympia
1 gold + 1 silver > 1 silver
True, not paradox.
The question is
2 silver > or < or = 1 gold ?
The same with a house:
upstairs 1 floor + along a corridor to the first room and back =
just upstairs 1 floor
the value is here in "how far from ground, which level You are",
but on a given level it doesn't matter, with people it's called,
they are peers.
The paradox is arising, when one believes in only this one kind
of ordering. Other orderings can be seen on the left hand of this
page (the postings ordered by "who replies to whom" - and by date).
In sci.math one has an ordering of, "who gives the best answers",
"who helps another", (sometimes "who has the best insulting words").
So in "who is asking interesting questions" You are not low, mina_.
But order is only half of life, the structure is more and i hope
You have done Your homework on "who is captain in this miracolous"
world wide web.
Have fun
