How can something weighed on a scale of personal opinion be hyperbolic?
You didn't weigh anything "on a scale of personal opinion." That would include a word like favorite instead of:
quote:
the single best unplugged track in history.
quote:
Nirvana set the bar high and nobody else has come close. It's really not much of a discussion.
Those are laughably absolute statements drowning in hyperbole.

No; because in my opinion, it is the best. The greatest.
Not hyperbolic. Not absolutism, either. By that definition, every opinion of superiority is a hyperbolic absolute, to a degree. Using the term 'favorite' is just a weak fandom version of what I said.
This is the internet, every a-hole is a critic. Critics don't say something is their favorite; they make outlandish claims that it's the best-in-class, when they believe that it is.
