Deep Thought

These reasonings are unconnected: 

 "I am richer than you, therefore I am better";

 "I am more eloquent than you, therefore I am better." 

The connection is rather this:

 "I am richer than you, therefore my property is greater than yours;"

 "I am more eloquent than you, therefore my style is better than yours."

 But you, after all, are neither property nor style.
