It is too shallow in my eyes to have the Slam count above everything when it comes to greatness. Time spent as #1, how many years the player finished as #1 and how dominant the player was should be equally important. The more I think about this, the more I realize that Federer is still greater than Nadal. Federer has more weeks at #1, more consecutive weeks at #1, more consecutive YE #1s and an insane dominance across all surfaces/conditions apart from clay. He is arguably the most dominant #1 of all time while Nadal arguably had no era. Federer even has 6 YEC titles to Nadal's 0. The YEC is an underrated tournament on this forum. The YEC count should be far more important than the Masters count.
Having said that, Nadal is still one of the greatest of all time and the indisputable Clay GOAT. Nadal on clay is the closest thing to being the GOAT.
I'll add the poll so you are free to agree or disagree with me there.
