How do you know this?
What do you mean by greater? You know the old Ben Franklyn story?
For want of a nail the shoe was lost.
For want of a shoe the horse was lost.
For want of a horse the rider was lost.
For want of a rider the message was lost.
For want of a message the battle was lost.
For want of a battle the kingdom was lost.
And all for the want of a horseshoe nail.
A nail, the cause, is less greater than losing a kingdom, the effect.
