So the two following statements can both be simultaneously true because they're saying two different things:
"Coldplay is a good band."
"Coldplay sucks in comparison to radiohead."

Absolutely !
Saying that coldplay sucks in comparison to radiohead, or saying that coldplay sucks in general, is quite another cup of tea.
Another example:
When i was a bit younger, i knew two chicks. Strictly speaking Mira and Sarah. Sarah had nothing on Mira ! In comparison to Mira, she really "sucked" ! With the wisdom of hindsight i wouldn't say that Sarah was bad though, only because Mira was better. Because, to be honest, i've shot my load both times....
