As far as I can see, there's no alternative combination of fares that could be used to construct an Egypt-USA-Argentina ticket. AA's Egypt-USA tariff doesn't allow end-on-end.

Without an alternative combination, there's no "higher" in the higher intermediate point rule. This is already the highest.
