self-evident
Is it okay to say something is "more self-evident", in the sense of something being clearer or more understandable or is the phrase a superlative that shouldn't be modified, such "more unique"?
Top answer
I seem to remember hearing something like, "nothing could be more self-evident", which I take to mean that the word, indeed, serves as a superlative.

It seems to me that something is either self-evident or it is not. I wouldn't use a modifier.
