["I say high, You say low, ... "]

Some other definitions:

1. X is "higher-level" than Y if it has fewer detractors among professors
	of computer science.

2. X is "higher-level" than Y if fewer people believe it should be
	stamped out.

3. X is "higher-level" than Y if it was invented as a substitute for Y.

Incidentally, most people use "higher-level" not as a comparative but
merely as a positive: "Algol is a higher-level language."  Higher than
what?  Just "higher."
