I was talking about how use of the word seems to fall along a intensity continuum (in that sense I wouldn't describe it as "finite"). Here you're talking about using the word with different objects (achievement vs character vs decision), which is not something I felt was really disputed by yourself or eppie. I think both of you could respect Hitler's choice of being a teetotaling vegetarian without extending that to any other aspect of him.
