Completely disagree. There's a tendency these days to say that because you can't quantify better-ness, things can't be better. Which isn't true at all; betterness can be subjective or heuristic or approximate. Of course, saying something is better than something else is always prefixed with an implicit "I believe that...", so it's fine to argue with it. But that doesn't mean it's an illegitimate thing to say.
