If a fact is the most boring[0], though, certainly that's something notable and therefore interesting about it.

Therefore, these are not the most boring facts about 1729.

Well, that shows there is no most boring fact, but I think it doesn't preclude a the existence of a set of most boring facts, with none more boring than all the others. Yes, that is an interesting feature of the facts in the set, but does it mean that they are all necessarily more boring than every fact outside the set?
