If we were afraid of being in water and didn’t know how to swim, the first victory would be just to lower ourselves into the water. The next step might be getting our face wet. If we were expert swimmers the challenge might be whether we can enter our hand into the water at a certain angle as we execute our stroke. Does that mean that one swimmer is better and the other worse? No. Both of them are perfect for where they are.
Um, no, actually the swimmer who can swim is a much better swimmer.
She might not be a better person, but she's a better swimmer.
