1) Your posting reminds me of the movie "legally blonde".
So they are legally blended? or legally blind... Forgive me if my pun is not so fun...
BTW, seriously, some leading brothers in my country (South Korea) have claimed they are blended, but 30 years' reality here seems to prove the opposite.
2) Back to the original point, "the greatEST" apostle thing, the superlative degree can indicate the opposite extreme like in the tale of two cities by Charles Dickens.
"It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to heaven, we were all going direct the other way - in short, the period was so far like the present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only."
I believe we have to remember Apostle Paul used a somewhat different kind of superlative... less than the least....
