It wasn't really a secretive discussion kept behind the curtains. It was just suggested there and some people pingponged ideas about what it should be.
Marvel getting cardinals wrong wasn't only in the issues with Kubik and Cosmos, as there was also stuff similar to it in the Doctor Strange comics people often quote while saying it encompasses Cantor's stuff or whatever, and even if you want to handwave that away with them interpreting it differently, there is still the fact that the authors didn't really know what they were talking about and thus made Infinities way smaller than they should normally be. So, yeah.
Discworld's Alephs are vague in the sense that, again, as far as I see there is no evidence behind the notion that they scale to anything in the physical setting of the verse. The whole thing behind Science of Discworld is that some Mages accidentally created a pocket universe which happens to be an exact replica of our own and started studying the stuff that the people in the Earth discovered / invented over the years. I am fine with being corrected by someone more knowledgeable on it than myself, though.
TOAA being a collective Author Avatar is nowhere near enough evidence for them being Tier 0; At most I can see one getting a "possibly High 1-A" highball on the profile if they stretch it long enough.
