How can X have intrinsic maximum? The context alone in which you use 'x'--as a proof--shows that it does not have intrinsic maximum. A proof can not possess intrinsic maximum.
You tell me what we are gauging the greatness of "X" by.
The ontological argument is extremely application specific. It was designed as an answer to the existence of the greatest possible being which no greater can be conceived. With that title this being is immediately associated with the properties of ominpotent, omniscient..etc. These are the attributes that have intrinsic maximum.
If you claim x to be omniscient, omnipotent etc. then x is merely a place holder for god (a + 2 = 4, a still equals two regardless of what you call it). For by definition the greatest possible being which no greater can be conceived is god.
