Re your last paragraph: can’t this be said about any form of government since there will be any kind of variation independent of form?

[taneq]

No. The best form of government is never a committee, but the worst form is seldom a committee.

[baxtr]

Fair enough. Makes sense!

It means the variation in monarchy is higher. So the best monarchy is better than the best democracy, but the worst monarchy is worse than the worst democracy
