Lask: Why are we relitigating the gemora, Berochos 34,2, who is greater?
I am under the impression that the argument put forth in the Gemara was between 2 Tzaddikim–1 who was FFB and 1 who was BT. In the case of the two Tzaddikim, the BT stands in a place the FFB cannot.
The current discussion is clearly not referring to Tzaddikim but merely to the overall quality of life of the individual. At least that’s my judgment.
If I am mistaken about the Gemara, please correct me–I view you as a teacher.
