Because I'm the first person who realizes that the well-ordered principle does not apply to people. Thus, the OP is wrong about the transitive property being applicable. As a simple counter-example to the transitive property, consider 4 specially prepared dice. When any one die is rolled against another, whichever has a higher number, wins. Now, label the dice A, B, C, and D. I can create these four dice such that the probability of B beating A is 2/3, the probability of C beating B is 2/3, and the probability of D beating C is 2/3. Thus, B is better than A; C is better than B, and D is better than C. However, before you assume that this means D is therefore better than A, these dice can be constructed so that the probability of A beating D is 2/3, thus A is better than D which is better than C which is better than B, which is better than A...

In this regard, there are only two logical conclusions that can be reached: I'm better than all of you, for I was the only one who realized this, and none of you are necessarily better than more than 1 other person. 😛
