What does "most unique" even mean? Unique is by definition singular, is it not?

No. Behold, a set of unique numbers: {2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 359334085968622831041960188598043661065388726959079837}

So there can be many unique things.

Also, it could be argued that the last element is the "most unique" in that it has less similarities with the other members.

A set of numbers unified by the fact that they're all unique in exactly the same way. Unique. Singular. :-)
