I know what you mean. What I say is that "distinction" is a substitute for "have traveled farther and lasted longer" not "the first human-made".

- in_cahoots 4y agoBut that’s not what first means! You’re either first or you have traveled farther, combining them into one clause doesn’t make sense. If I’m the first person to be the fastest runner, then nobody else can be first. It just doesn’t make any sense. Someone can be faster, but they’ll never be first.
