It's always funny to see how people treat author's statements no matter how physically and mathematically impossible it is to the things the characters are shown to do. You could have a verse where people are dodging lighting, traversing interplanetary distance and saving a city full of people from a nuclear explosion but a few faster than sound or below light speed statement later and people are all clambering to downgrade the verse like they just heard a thesis from a physics professor. On the flipside, a verse could have multiple lightpeed or FTL statements from the author but will be treated as hyperbolic or flowery language by everyone as it contradict and is literally impossible with what the characters are shown to do. The complete opposite way the same group of people treat the same event always cracks me up. Personally, author statements are only worth considering if they line up with or are supportive of what is shown on paper. I don't care how FTL you think your verse are, if the highest feat the characters are shown to struggle against are Hypersonic then it will stay that way, on the contrary if your characters can immediately travel from one city to the next to save a falling building or move fast enough to caught up with and outspeed a bullet then no amount of hyping up transonic or supersonic is gonna change my perception.
