Well, those are good, but you're missing the obvious.  How many times have
we heard, "Hey, they're the new Beatles!"  And we roll our eyes, knowing
that they'll NEVER be another Beatles.  Or Michael Jordan.  Or Babe Ruth.
All these people are cultural archetypes that we hold others up to for
comparison purposes.  So reaching 100% should be the FIRST criteria.  To
truly replace someone, you need to do their job, and THEN some, to show the
world something new, that's never been seen before.  Or, to paraphrase the
Bard, you need to "out Herod Herod."  Most Godwalkers are content merely to
walk in the shadow of greatness.  They might dream of surpassing the master,
but at some point, they can no longer use them for guidance.
