Tolkien doesn't say Luthien is the greatest in some respects, he says she is the greatest of the Eldar. No conditions. It is a concrete answer to a question that many people ask, taken directly from Tolkien's writings.

People are certainly allowed to have their favorites. That wasn't the question I was addressing.
