=====Greatest silver strike in history?=====

The History section starts with "''The Comstock Lode, the greatest silver strike in history...''"
Comstock yielded much less silver than Potosí (192 million oz, according to Econ Geol (1989) 84:1574-1613), so I fear the word "''greatest''" is misleading at best. How about rephrasing to something like "''one of the greatest silver strikes...''"? Comments/criticisms?

Greatest silver strike in history?

The History section starts with "The Comstock Lode, the greatest silver strike in history..." Comstock yielded much less silver than Potosí (192 million oz, according to Econ Geol (1989) 84:1574-1613), so I fear the word "greatest" is misleading at best. How about rephrasing to something like "one of the greatest silver strikes..."? Comments/criticisms?
