When does scaling become stacking?

This is a question I thought about when I was making the article for Monster X (Godzilla). I noticed that Godzilla: Final Wars Godzilla was labeled as having Country Level durability because Monster X's beams were scaled from the blue spiral atomic breath used to destroy the meteor, but Monster X's beams clashed with the normal atomic breath rather than the fully charged spiral breath and the movie makes a clear distinction between the two.

Same goes for the characters' reaction speed. The meteor beam's sub-relativistic speed was scaled to the normal beam and Monster X's beams even though both consistently showed far slower speeds. Isn't this calc stacking? I noticed something similar elsewhere when I saw people scaling Jubileus in Bayonetta getting launched at faster-than-light speeds to Aesir getting launched by a stronger summon even though the latter sequence didn't even come close to suggesting faster-than-light speed.
 
Nah its not stacking, its improper scaling.

As for the Bayonetta one, artists can not simply draw FTL all the time.
