Your use of "any better" has the same semantic content as the use of "just as" would have had.

- coldtea 4y agoNope. "Any better" was used in the context of the question whether being an X person who does X because genetics is better than being an X person who does X by choice. To which I replied that it's not "any better" (both result in many people being murdered horrifically). "Just as" was used in the context of the question whether fantasizing about X is "just as" bad as doing X. To which I replied that it's not "just as bad", but it's still a bad/creepy thing. So not the same "semantic content" at all given the context.
