   maybe    this example  ( ... his own list of the best drummers ...)   
   highlights the futility of  asking this type of question   
      
                                 (more than the other examples do)   
      
      
   because...... in a real  situation,  a Sentence would be   
   more concrete...   and mention  The Rolling Stones  GOAT  list,   
   Ringo Star, etc.
