This isn't actually true. It's a conceptual defense based on ranks, where ranks and AP are not always the same in the setting (although I believe for the purposes of debates we often equate them since they're usually correlated). But his power definitely treats it as a quality difference rather than a quantity one. Here's a quote from the Type-Moon wiki to explain what I mean:I otherwise agree with your reasoning, but want to point out that the invulnerability page literally has a vid of someone getting hurt by high enough ap
For him to be damaged, he must be hit by A-rank attacks or above, requiring the opponent to have at least an A-rank "normal attack" registered through their Strength statistic, A-rank magecraft, or an A-rank Noble Phantasm. It only works based on rank and not numeral equivalents due to its "refusal" property that "goes beyond the rules of reality", meaning that, although a C-rank Noble Phantasm can be considered A or A+ rank in terms of a regular attack, it would still be nullified by God Hand. Even should an attack be capable of destroying the world, Saber believes it would be nullified should the rank be too low.[6][7][12]
