This reminds me of Lojban, in which the constructs meaning “good” and “bad” encourage you to specify a metric. It is still possible to say that something is “worse” without providing any detail, but I suspect most Lojban speakers would remember to provide detail if there was a chance of confusion.
As always when we hear the word “worse”, we need to ask ourselves, “worse on what metric?”
