I've noticed a trend where Immeasurable speed is used without real proper justifications, or the justification presented is just not adequate for the rating. From the Speed page the definition is
> Immeasurable (Movement beyond linear time. This is why the speed cannot be measured. Given that S = D/T, if T is undefined the speed formula cannot be applied. This is the same reason why multiple temporal dimensions also grant immeasurable speed. For further information, see note 5 below.)
And
> Characters that are able to move backwards and forwards through time by movement alone qualify for immeasurable speed. However, due to general inconsistencies, and the fact that several fictions grant this ability to any character able to move FTL, they may be assigned an additional, independent, speed rating for the ability. This should preferably be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
Which is fine but I've noticed multiple profiles lack this justification. For the most part the rating is given to those with higher dimensional ratings despite that not being what it is. For example

- Multiple TTGL profiles have this speed rating but do not fit the above definition: Example here and here. Where simply being higher dimensional is their reasoning for Immeasurable speed
- People like CA Superma have this rating due to being higher dimensional rather than being able to move through time
- Before a recent thread various DnD profiles were rated as Immeasurable for being Higher Dimensional basically
