According to the last lesson, this is not an implied comparative. It is just an absolute claim; there is no comparison implied or reasonably inferred.
"... you don't want to confuse an absolute claim for a relative one.
Absolute Claim Example:
Tom’s recipe for lasagna is easy to follow for most people.
Okay, that means Tom's recipe for lasagna is easier to follow than most recipes for lasagna, right?
Nope. It could be true or it could be false. The statement just says that Tom's recipe is easy to follow (for most people). It could be that most recipes are also easy to follow in which case there's nothing special about Tom's. Or it could be that most recipes are hard to follow in which case, yeah, Tom's would stand out."
Yes, that's how I did it also.
