All grading is done on a relative scale. It's relative to the questions the professors thought to ask, or that the accreditation boards required them to ask.
But I think they only apply in contexts where your grading is done on a relative scale (which I think is much worde than an absolute one, where one's better grade doesn't imply another person's lower grade).

I would love it if he were among us to give on of his characteristically snarky answers :D [1]
He would probably have said something along the lines of "not as brilliant, more brilliant; which the fact that the other poor chap who wasn't capable of cheating clearly shows".
