as good as

a. As a term of general commendation or approval. In early use usually implying distinguished rank or valour; in later use typically suggestive of honest reliability or decency, or personal worth regardless of rank or status. Now chiefly in good men and true (now somewhat archaic), and comparative expressions, as as good as, too good for, etc. See also good man at sense A. 4e.In modern English, good typically has some aspect of moral judgement when applied to people (cf. branch A. II.), creating some overlap between this sense and weakened examples of the moral use; cf., e.g., quot. 1808 and quot. 1960 at sense A. 15a.
