It doesn't always have to correspond to what it does, but most of the time it does.
Again none of these matter, just because Chester didn't say anything about his energy at that time doesn't mean a device called energy scanner didn't scan his energy at all. It's way less accurate to assume the device doesnt do what its name suggests then to assume it can scan several thing.
It is always best to make as few assumptions as possible.
We saw/were told that what the device does is read technology. This is not an assumption because this is what is on the screen.
On the other hand, it is an assumption to say that this device reads energy. Based on the name of the device, it is an assumption to say that it reads energy, which is something we didn't see.
Furthermore, let's assume that the device can read energy like technology. Chester didn't say anything about energy readings, he only mentioned technology readings. There is no evidence that Chester received energy readings as well as technology readings. To say that he received energy readings alongside technology readings in that scene is another assumption.
As in science, and as we do on Wiki, we always choose the option with the fewest assumptions, which is that it does not read energy.
I meant that he has exp overall about these superhuman beings.
It doesn't matter. He has never encountered Despero before, he has never encountered Despero's species before, he does not know the powers of this species.
We cannot accept his statement as true about the power of an entity he has never encountered before, whose name he has never even heard before, and whom he has never scanned before, simply because he has encountered superhuman beings before.
Ok if you accept that you don't need to visibly damage someone to perform good against them, why are you even bringing it up ?
Because you said that Chester saw Flash's fight with Despero and Flash's fight with Fuerza, and you used this an argumant for Chester's statement is reliable.
That's why I brought it up.
In the fight with Fuerza, Flash was thoroughly beaten, suffered physical harm, and in this situation, Fuerza had no intention whatsoever of killing Flash.
On the other hand, in the fight with Despero, Despero had the specific intention of killing Flash, and Flash was neither seriously beaten nor physically harmed in this fight.
This is like someone seeing Reign beat Supergirl to death and seriously injure her, then seeing Livewire send Supergirl flying with her attack and seeing that Supergirl didn't suffer any physical harm, and then that person saying Livewire hit her like Reign did.
Alright then, Chester compared Despero to Fuerza because their strength was comparable
How can you say that? Chester doesn't know Despero's power. He doesn't have data to compare Despero's power to Fuerza's. But Caitlyn have.
Caitlyn: I ran a bio-scan on Despero.... He has strength and invulnerability that rivals Kryptonians.
Great, still doesnt make Chester statement invalid or unreliable.
It make Caitlyn's statement more reliable and more accurate than Chester's statement.
None of these are really accurate besides Despero and Fuerza being similar in appearance.
It is accurate
Yes, someone who has witnessed Flash fought multiple enemies would obviously be a reliable source, even in this situation.
Chester doesn't know Despero's power; he hasn't experienced it firsthand or scanned it. He doesn't have data to compare Despero's power to Fuerza's.
Chester knows nothing about Despero in this situation. The only thing he knows is that he possesses advanced technology and didn't seriously harm Barry.
Alrigth but when did i ever say that Caitlyn's statements weren't relaible ? You are using it to say Chester's wasn't but netiher statements contridict each other. I'll say this Chester's statement could be more of an eyeball and Caitlyn's statement could be more pracaise, while both statements still being accurate.
We have two statements: one from Chester, who compares Despero to Fuerza without any knowledge, and another from Caitlyn, who discovers Despero's power by scanning him and compares him to the Kryptonians.
The two statements give different levels of Despero's power. And the statement that gives a lower level comes after a biological scan.
How can you say that both statements are accurate when they say different things about same thing?
I'll repeat, the writers has clearly intended this statement to be true as evidenced by their intentions to make Despero this ultra powerfull guy thats above Flash's other enemies, now whatever you agree with these statement is up to you, you can count them as outliers, you can count Chester statement as an outlier, but to say his statement is invalid is not accurate in my opinion.
Not writers, but just one writer. Simply stating that all writers think the same based on the statement of a single writer is not very helpful, especially since we know that the team disagrees with Eric Wallace on many points regarding the writing.
Furthermore, if we are to delve into the writers' intentions, the statement comparing Despero to Fuerza came from a episode written by a single writer, but the statement comparing him to the Kryptonians came from a epsiode written by two different writers.
If we're going to read between the lines, I can say that most writers intend to place Despero at the level of the Kryptonians, not at the level of Fuerza, since they compare him to the Kryptonians.
The problem with intentions reading is that it's all speculation.
Plus why would Caitlyn even compare him to fuerza when Chester already did that ?
