"Bob has achieved a thing, I have not achieved that exact same thing, therefore I'm not as generally competent as Bob" is a fallacy. (Not just an "unhelpful thought" in a psychological sense, but literally untrue.)

It totally denies the possibility of specialization. What if Bob is better at something than you because that's what he's spent his time on, while you were doing something different? What if you're better than Bob in *your* field?

If you can claim both A>B and B<A then you don't have a partial order, and comparative terms like "better than" don't make any sense for things that aren't partial orders.
