Why is a skeleton a bad liar?

A tower at the root of all confusion.

Placed above it makes greater things small. Placed beside it makes small things greater. In matters that counts it always comes first. Where others increase it keeps all things the same. What is it?

It is sharp but not pepper; white but not paper; green but not shaddock. What am I?
