Yes but we also talking about a guy who beat soldiers with at least hundreds of years experience, with many physical feats, plus it's also a bit reminds of buster gold situation where dude got good forcefields, this case shouldn't be so far because Steven's forcefields are definitely multifunctional and can block good amount of stuff which Star will use. The debate of this battle is interesting, and case very dependent on what you will accept, for same reason I hate to see when argumentation for both sides does exists but ending up with just saying that "X character is stronger".
You probably will see a difference when here you told me a pretty decent and based argument and someone just saying that character is stronger. That's like if I would respond to your argument by just "Steven is stronger", something like this in debates making debate from interesting to something you don't want to see. A lot of water from me can already tell, so here's short version: Good when people use arguments and explaination in debates, bad when vice versa.
