Hi Aikuzo,
'More dissimilar' is a colloquial use because either something is dissimilar or it isn't. The use of 'more' is to emphasise the idea that their opinions are very different from one another.

"it would be hard to find two more dissimilar viewpoints"
But on this one, when the narrator said "two more", does he mean here two more different people (that also has the same dissimilar viewpoint) that is hard to find? _________________ I quit studying English years ago and have just come back to study the basics. |

I'm not patronizing you. I'm, nonetheless, telling you the truth. Thus, I just want you to know that virtually everyone has got individual diction in our native tongues; even during uttering something in your native tongue, all the commands, such as lexicons, idioms, adages, grammar, and knowledge, are not fully operational.
Had you ever encountered anyone who was omnipotent before you determined to study English?
