> No one said they were better because they are a subset, they're saying the superset of the subset is not said to be worse. That is, a nuclear family is not said to be worse than an orphan child. It's entirely an argument of your own making to imply one is saying the superset is worse than the subset, when nothing of the sort was implied.

There are no supersets of a nuclear family that are worse than the nuclear family? There are possibly properties of a nuclear family that only exist when it is a singular nuclear family and those don't necessarily extend to every superset, which is why I asked my original question.
