The name isGreater() probably is a little misleading. It actually means if the 
distance of second value to the first value is greater than the given amt. When 
v1 = 23 and v2 = null, the distance is considered greater than 10 (actually any 
value) since 23 and null are not comparable; the same for v1 = null and v2 = 
23. v1 = null and v2 = null are considered less than 10 since they are both 
null and the distance is 0.

I can change the name to mean what it means, like isDistanceGreater(), so that 
we won't be confused with isEqual() (which is what I initially did as well); or 
add some comments. Suggestions?
