"Best [whatever] of all time" is a bullshit term which loses more relevance each time it's used. Just what happens to the previous best thing of all time when another best thing of all time usurps it? Does it simply become the second-best thing of all time?

 

I don't understand where you're going with this, and I'm tempted to answer "yes" to your question.

 

If someone  beats the best swimmer of all time, then the original best becomes the second best, right?

Only because said swimmers will be subject to some governing body which determines the ranking. Who determines the best story of all time, across all medias? Certainly not You, I, or Mr. Molyneux.
