Yes, that is true.  For instance, when referring to your father, do you
call him "elderly gentleman" or, "old man"?  I would refer to my father
(given those two choices) as "old man" [:)] but not in front of him! 
In front of him I would use "elderly gentleman"...therefore that 
expression (or word) is better than the other.
You could also use numbers.  If one number is not the other, then one
must be greater or less than the other.  
 
What is a poset?
