Uh, no, that would be necessary for your position. If the narrator is omniscient, then so are narrator-based accolades, .ie sourcebooks,

If it's not a quote, then sure.
Stover's flourishing, etc.

Being flowery doesn't make you inaccurate. Context is a thing. 😬
Those accolades, then, are no more or less reliable than feats.

Except feats are showings. You can be as powerful as the day is long, but if literally no one knows how you apply this, than the point is, again, moot.
The only distinction comes if you're comparing narrator-derived feats with character-derived accolades, but then the distinction is in the source, not the type.

See the above. Not that this discussion is about narrator accolades anyway. Narrators aren't the ones claiming Tulak Hord can drop cruisers and blitz half the mythos.

Accolades and hype are fine and dandy but it has to be realized that they can only be taken so far before you delve into the realm of speculation and uncertainty.
