Interesting, whilst we are using other examples to get our points across.

Let's look at race car drivers.

A driver may be a champion, the best in the field, some who watched him race may say the best ever. One day he may get bored with the challenge, switch teams or retire. He may even lose his life.
His team will replace him.
The replacement driver may win three world titles for that team. Is he a better driver? Maybe, maybe not because the car and the opposition will have changed in that different era. You can only compare the driver to the opposition at the time he raced. His car may also be better prepared than the previous drivers car for the circuits of the time. Impossible to judge, opinions differ..

Anyway, that's my attempt at interpreting Peter's departure!
