Example in wrong place or am I missing something?

The lesson reads:  

When to use pire in general statements (adverb)

In French, you'll use the adverb pire when:

making a general statement with être about something or someone being bad/worse/the worst:
[exemples non pertinents supprimés]

Baptiste est mon pire ennemi.
Baptiste is my worst enemy.

But isn’t this just another example of using pire as an adjective? Or am I missing something important?


Cheers

I agree: it’s hard to see any difference between the use of pire in this sentence and meilleures in the one from the adjective section “ Ces deux-là sont les meilleures amies du monde”
