How is it consistent when you acknowledge that TYBW Unohana would stomp SS arc Zaraki yet put people who are within 10 points of each other as similar in power.It's not explicitly stated, however not only is it consistent but it's logically deduced from the mechanics of the verse. Your ability to dish out damage and your AP is a factor of your spiritual pressure (the ability to exert your spirit energy) plus your raw physical strenght. Aka SP + Attack.
Heck it doesnt make sense with Zaraki which I know you say it refers to the fact that he doesnt utilize spiritual energy but again that makes no sense because Zaraki was in fact utilizing it in his fight with Ichigo, that was literally how he was explaining the difference in their strength. The more likely and frankly actually consistent interpretation is their uses of Kido.
Also you are talking like the databook was made for vsbw. They dont have AP put in mind for us. If they do not explicitly say that your overall power to damage someone is Attack + spiritual pressure then dont use it as such.
Oh and how would this work for things like defense which can be wildly different from their attack. Would we now consider durability like defence + SP?
