Not really. If it was already evident by established limits then it just affirms the position. If it clarifies an ambiguous comparison then all the better.
Quotes that are outright contradicted by established limits are obviously unusable. I mean Bane > Vitiate? Lmao.

It's not about caring or bias. It's about math.
If a demonstrated limit occurs and they are shown to be below another person's demonstrated limit and then that's confirmed that's good.
If a limit is not established for a comparison between two people then a quote establishes a base limit ( > or < ) at least greater by a minimum margin. At least lesser by a minimum margin.
If limits are demonstrated and one is shown to be superior to another and a quote contradicts that then I side over the established limits rather then the source in question.
