The thing is, many endeavors are not single dimensional nor are they designed to be competitive, so pairwise ranking doesn’t make any sense.

If you say, I’m better at bob than badminton. That makes sense since it’s designed as a competition and you can resolve the argument by playing Bob.

If you say “I’m better at Bob at software engineering” what does that even mean? Does Bob even know he is competing against you?
