Something can be comprehensive without being all-encompassing, no?

  But, something that is all-encompassing would be more comprehensive than something that is not, yes?

    Not necessarily so in separate fields.

    God created everything. That's all-encompassing, but not comprehensive. Another example might be, A correct compiler can compile any valid program. It's all encompassing. An optimizing compiler, that's can't handle template syntax is more comprehensive. Better answers in a narrower field. Finally the template aware optimizing compiler is all-encompassing and more comprehensive.
