Absolute-ly

An absolute adjective is an adjective with a meaning that is generally not capable of being intensified or compared, such as perfect, fatal, or square. I found this definition in Understanding English Grammar (the text for ENG 408).

"Which is more fatal, an ant bite or falling off a cliff?" That's wrong right?

So how about "Which is fatal, an ant bite or falling off a cliff?"
