I think it's safe to say that there are things that are easier for the vast 
majority of people. If 99% of everyone finds A easier than B, and indeed if 
B provides a subset of the functionality of A with more work, then B is 
indeed superior to A.

For example, a UI that locks up the interface for 30 seconds each time you 
insert a CD is inferior to an interface that is identical except doesn't 
lock up when you insert a CD.
