If I understand you correctly, you're saying that:
"No one kills more efficiently" includes all past events.
"No one is killing more efficiently" would be the proper way to exclude past events.
But I have a few questions about that:
Im saying that it's ambiguous, the way I phrased it was it doesn't necessarily exclude the past. When you add the word ancient to the example about speaking greek you're adding additional context, no one does ancient anything because that word necessarily implies the thing isn't done anymore. I asked for more context from op to avoid misunderstanding and you made and example of how that would work and why its important.
Also since the greek example wasn't a comparison like what I responded to we could make it one and see how that looks too.
"No one speaks Ancient Greek as efficiently as the Language Majors"
Would it be unfair to comment that maybe the Acient Greeks did?
