You appeal a lot to what the "average person" or "normal person" would think when watching JJK when:The 5% is an example, but I doubt the average person thinks Gojo’s physicals without blue are stronger than Rika or Yuki Tsukumo
The point is the stat gaps aren’t where it’s at
a) what the audience interpret isn't necessarily what's accurate
b) you have no metric to quantify what the general audience perspective is outside of your own perspective
c) you're attempting to construct a powerscaling argument by saying we ought to reject powerscaling perspectives, inherently discrediting yourself
The average person likely isn't going to look at Gojo and think "ah yes, Mach 429.297194 speeds with blue enhancement" because the average person isn't too interested in trying to make precise measurements of power outside of "wow Gojo is really fast", but this doesn't mean that making those precise measurements is in some way dishonest (as you've claimed) or losing the meaning of the series, if anything the opposite is true. In the same way the average watcher of a movie isn't going to analyse the dynamics between the characters and be able to talk about their depth, simply thinking "wow, this is entertaining", whilst a media analyst would be capable of doing so - would we therefore say the media analyst is dishonestly losing the meaning of the series for the sake of some pre-determined agenda?
Powerscalers are interested in analysing a piece of media to measure the characters power in precise ways, so we construct calcs, analyse scaling chains, interpret statements, and so on to do so, that will inherently lead us to think things which the average watcher wouldn't have thought of. To start your powerscaling approach with "powerscaling is wrong, the average viewer is right, I am the average viewer, therefore I am right" is clownery. It's why you're incapable of answering any question people ask, incapable of analysing the particulars of matchups or in-series fights, incapable of addressing all the feats, instead all you can do is make broad and meaningless generalisations and false equivalences such as "Uro ~ Yuta, therefore the gap between Gojo and Mei Mei is like 5%". You're engaging in surface level "powerscaling bad" arguments we had to deal with back in 2016.
