I take what happens on panels rather than interviews.
If a writer says he meant to have Batman admit Cap is superior, then that should have happened in the comic.... It didn't. He just said it's POSSIBLE for Cap to beat him. It's also possible he could have won.
If the writer intended Superman to fly her into the sky, that should have happened, it didn't, and wasn't written that way.
The writer of Darkseid meant to have him be the equivilent of Galactus, however, we see the treatment he gets on the forum in comparison... Due to on panel showings... he's a notch below.. especially if Galactus has fed.
Another poster once posted an interview about when he was going balls out in OWAW, the writer said something like he felt Superman could solo Imperiex.

You have 'low showings' and 'high showings' for writers intent, just like you have in feats. One minute, the 'intent' is for Superman to get knocked out by a fence, and the next is for him to survive supernova's and take it to imperiex.
Taking writers' intent into account changes nothing - there are still the low and the high showings.
Meh, I honestly don't care enough about it to argue; however I still think the writer's intent is an important facet. Feats can be misconstrued, words can be misleading, and when you bring numbers into it? Christ.
I think, at times, you have to look past the feat itself, and look at what the writer INTENDED that feat to portray, mean, or say.
But that's me, and like I said, I don't care enough to argue about it with anyone. .
