How so? We actually don't have any specific characteristics on what makes code "good", nor do we have any quantifiable metrics that say "said good code is better"?
I may think your chair is more comfortable or that it lasts longer under load, but that doesn't always mean is "better". A cheaper chair could be considered better because its cheaper to acquire, even if its not as comfortable or doesn't last as long.
