Superlatives
Superlatives
include adjectives such as "huge," "incredible,"
"wonderful," "exciting," etc.
For example,
"the mitochondria showed an incredibly large increase in oxygen
consumption when we added uncoupling agent." Your definition of incredible
might be different from that of someone else - perhaps a five fold increase is
incredible to you, but not for the next person.
It is much
better to use an objective expression, such as "Oxygen consumption was
five fold greater in the presence of uncoupler, which is a greater change than
we saw with the addition of any other reagent."
