I said it was similar. And, 7 = 10 is not an opinion, it's just idiocy. You can't have an opinion on hard science, the basis for most science at that. Now, if you said X = Y, that's an entirely other story, but 7 CANNOT = 10, no matter how you look at it.

In terms of what games are better than/like other games of the same genre, that is entirely based on opinion.

Both Terraria and Minecraft are a new genre, which I call "Free Roaming Game" (FRG), because of the shear amount of different things you can do in them. I guess you can sort of say that all the GTAs are also FRGs in that sense.

So, is Grand Theft Auto San Andreas the same as Minecraft and Terraria? Of course not, because you can't craft anything in any of the GTAs, as far as I know. But I'd still put them in the same category.

Think about FPS (First Person Shooter) for a minute. Think about Call of Duty, and think about Halo. Two very well-known and very popular titles/franchises. Would you say that they're the exact same thing? Of course not! But they're still FPS games. Strip them down to the core, and they ARE the same thing. Select Weapon, Point, Shoot, Kill, Avoid being Killed. That's all there is, really. Hell, you can even add Left 4 Dead in there. But it still remains that none of these games are identical to their brethren.

Minecraft is, in the same sense, a brother to Terraria. It is more bulky, in the sense that it is in 3D, but Terraria, the younger brother, has more stuff. It is better equipped. It just comes down to a matter of preference.

Infinite 3D Worlds? Or Finite 2D Worlds?

The main selling point of Terraria, to me anyways, is how you can carry stuff from world to world on your character, so you can help any friend struggling to get passed skeletron, for instance, and, if you are also having trouble, you can have your friend(s) come and help you in return!

In no way is having an opinion being an immature moron. Opinions is what makes us different, but facts are facts, and cannot be changed. Minecraft is similar to Terraria, but it is not the SAME. Much like Call of Duty is similar to Halo or Left 4 Dead, or like Age of Empire is similar to Command & Conquer/Red Alert. They're part of the same genre, but aren't the same thing.
