Let's analyze each statement for the use of superlatives:
1. **There might be a better way to approach this problem** - Not a superlative. It uses "better," which is a comparative form but does not indicate the highest degree.
2. **That is the worst argument I've ever heard** - This is a superlative. "Worst" indicates the lowest degree within a group.
3. **That is the strongest argument anyone can make** - This is also a superlative. "Strongest" indicates the highest degree within a group.
4. **I would like to point out a flaw in that logic** - Not a superlative. This statement does not use any comparative or superlative terms.
**Summary:**
- Statements 2 and 3 are superlatives.
- Statements 1 and 4 are not superlatives.
