Yeah, that is not unambiguously translating that the third are considered superior to the second 
GPT4 says:
"Yes, the Buddha does rank the other three types of people:
- Those who neither protect themselves nor protect others: This group is considered the lowest and most despicable.
- Those who protect others but do not protect themselves: This group is considered superior to the first.
- Those who protect themselves but do not protect others: This group is also considered superior to the first but is ranked similarly to the second.
Ultimately, the highest rank is given to those who protect both themselves and others."
Maybe @cdpatton can translate? Anyway, I started a separate thread for this side discussion here. Probably does not matter much to the discussion here where it is mutually agreed the fourth type is best.
