That seems like a concise answer.
IMO tiers only mean something when it comes to overall formidability (power set, skill, and style). Superman is easily stronger than some skyfather level beings, some trans level beings, most herald levels beings, etc.
Just because a character is a trans doesn't mean they are physically stronger than a herald. They can be a trans only because of their blasting power, versatility, and durability combination.
Thus being stronger by a tier has no meaning.
It's all about how many times Superman is stronger that we should be discussing.
Superman is 2x stronger, 5x, 10x, etc. That's the actual debate.
