I've known about "a Great Lake" for THINGS THAT ARE SUPERIOR being an example of a possible end-run clue for years. But it only just occurred to me that there's a much better reason to buzz it: "great" and "superior" are synonyms.

(Confirmed by M-W, in case anyone's wondering, although there is always room for personal disagreement.)

Beats having to parse the article "a"--an arbitrary Great Lake (which you cover above) or one of them in particular?
