I am more inclined to agree with Deagonx, Antvasima and Eficiente here. Also, the bigger and/or more controversial is verse is, the more staff appears to need involvement. Also, while I wouldn't say a Bureaucrat or 2 who aren't super experts on a verse would override a majority of people who are more invested in the verse as Prom put it, verse specific topics I don't generally think authority should override people who are more knowledgeable on the verse. But at the end of the day, verse knowledge, number count, and staff position are all insufficient compared to facts and logic. Though facts and logic aren't always possible to grasp washout those knowledgeable on the balance of our system.
However, I still feel like most if not all the cosmic feats are vague as heck and/or we have face value evidence of some of those feats being chain reactions rather than feats. But a lot of DC heralds are consistently Tier 5 to High 4-C. I know 4-B comes from dodging the bullet on our KE standards and that we either take the "Dwarf star" statement as High 5-A or use the literal speed of light statement to go all the way to High 3-A. But some statements just say "Speed of Light" in context that they're approaching it or nearing it rather than going all out. The High 3-A punch is a literal suicide attack. And Superman's version iirc is merely stated to hit with the force of a Supernova. And while Green Lanterns can perform feats far above other DC Heralds, they generally need to be buff each other in unity in order to do so.
