You are right. The concept of best anything is flawed. Some things can be given reliable numerical values which allow us to decide which item scores highest. For instance, in a horse race one (usually) horse crosses the finish first. It wins the race but that in no way says it is the best horse. Depending on the criteria used it may not even be the best horse in the race. Best is a subjective term which can never be answered to everyone's satisfaction. If I am starving to death the best restaurant in town, which I cannot afford, is not what I need. However, a list of what others have found useful, fun, good, best can be helpful in making a decision.
