Arlen Holder <arlen_holder@newmachines.com> Wrote in message: > Hi Poutnik,You _always_ say that. :) :-) And I suppose I will always do, unless somebody makes me to change the opinion. Any debate over it implies we share the general definition of "the best", not limited to software, otherwise we would talk about different things, talking about the best. The scope of being the best is as wide as the scope of the shared equivalent criteria for it and their evaluation too, leading to the same result. If best applications for given purpose had existed, it would have been easily determined which ones, *independently* on opinions AND there would have been no hot debates why those. Like there are no hot debates which of 10 m, 20 m, 30 m tall trees is the tallest one. Being best is not an attribute of an object itself, but it is an attribute of the subject-object relation. Existence of different subjects means different relations to the object, some of them having the attribute "being the best for purpose X". > If you ask _me_ what's the "best" app for, oh, say YouTube watching...o I'd have absolutely no problem telling you firmly that it's NewPipe. Yes, but it is your criteria, your evaluation, your best. And of those who share it. ( I do for now, but that is coincidence ) The same applies to other examples, not being limited to software. > BTW, saying "QuickEdit" only works if that's the only one on Google Play Thanks for the correction,I have meant by Rhythm, not being aware there are more. Note that I have written I use it, not that it is best application. I could write it is best by my opinion and for me for now, because I have evaluated so. But the scope of this best is limited, as the criteria and evaluation, including subconscious ones, is limited to me and those who share it. . > what's"best" for them; but some things are best for everyone (see my examples above) or at least are best for "most people" or for the "typical user". This is again your criteria and evaluation, that is valid only in their shared scope. You can more or less successfully predict evaluation of others, but you cannot decide it for them. They may or may not share your opinion. "Being best for person Y for purpose X" is an attribute of a ternary relation of 2 subjects and 1 object. Again many possibilities. 5 people can have up to 5 different opinions what backpack I should buy for particular purpose. And up to 5 other different opinions for other purpose and/or for other person. > Perhaps we should ask for "recommended" apps, instead of best apps? Exactly. In fact, I suppose the majority want to ask for this, if asking for the best. If you asked in video processing forum forum.doom9.org, what is the best application for H264 encoding, DVD authoring or video processing, you would get at first warning by moderators, and later at repeated occurrences eventually temporary or permanent ban. As not asking for best ones is prevention of flame wars. -- Poutnik ( the Wanderer )
