(Continuation from yesterday)

I want to ask for the difference between "number one" and "only one".

I think

(1) "Only one" is just a subjective illusion that doesn't have quantitative or qualitative assessment criteria.

That means, the flower that only he/she believe "one flower in the world"

On the other hand,

(2)"number one" is just an objective reality that enable quantitative or qualitative assessment criteria possible, and everyone can admit that it is a supremacy.

That means, the flower that the world recognizes as "one flower in the world"

Even if "only one" of the above (1) is recognized as social values, all of the "only one" are "number one".

-----

In this situation, this controversy is coming soon.

"We can use the word "only one" by the evaluation criteria based only on our own view."

That may be so.

Then, it is better to say the followings from the beginning.

NOT "Be "only one" than "number one"" BUT "Be more self-satisfied that Evaluation of others"

NOT "only one flower in the world" BUT "I, who are alone in the world"
