But you're not best in WORLD. Just better at Python vs Prolog. That would be the question I imagined. This Q doesn't invoke Dunning-Kruger.

I wasn't envisaging a Q where you rate yourself VS others. I was saying best at which language within a single person.

If you generalise what I say, obviously there are cases where it's tough or even nonsense. Like Qs like: am I better at cycling or climbing?

Anything we say when taken out of context or generalised too far becomes meaningless. But I think what I said originally had merit.
