Using your logic for a F versus a high end F is just like comparing "Super Unleaded " versus "Premium Plus" Gasoline.

[I][Unless you attend some government schools that allow 2 plus 2 to equal 4 if you FEEL it equals 4 based on your up-bringing and social economic class][/I] F15 is a better grade than F12.
