DY: Interesting point. I’ll concede to it to some extent. But part of what makes him “superior” in the first place is what makes him worthy to emulate. He is not worthy of emulation because he is superior, but he is worthy of emulation because of what he did in the first place. No one was born superior than anyone else. So it’s the Torah that creates this superiority. We want to emulate the Torah and we find the proper people to emulate to do that.
