Outliers and Max's vs Disregards and Averages

Again, you are missing the point. here, I'll try and dumb this down enough for you.

h1: Hela only performed the feat once, that means it's an outlier.

h1: Ozy only performed the feat once, that means it's not an outlier.

Everyone else: h1 is a hypocrite.

Whether something is an outlier or not is irrelevant to its usability.

Why argue semantics with someone when it does not address the spirit of the problem at all?

That's basically derailing the thread.

Performing a feat once is not the definition of an outlier. If you disagree then, again, we are arguing semantics.

We are arguing your double standards.

Which has nothing to do with the thread. Glad you admit to derailing the thread.

It has everything to do with the thread, because we cannot properly address the question posed in the Op if we are all using different definitions of outlier and high-end.

Well we can discuss what should be an outlier.

My take is
Outlier is a feat that is significantly beyond all shown limits of a character.

And
High-end is the highest feat a character has done, not necessarily significantly beyond all shown limits.

Then you agree that the bullet feet is an outlier?

Ozy didn't show any limits that were significantly lower. Him blocking attacks wasn't a shown limit to his perception ability or his top hand speed.

If Ozy was consistently getting tagged (which is a shown limit) then we can clearly say that the bullet feat is an outlier.

Fact is, none of Ozy's other feats even come close to being bullet time. Therefore under the definition you just gave, the bullet time feat is an outlier.

Stop being a hypocrite.

He did not show limits below bullet time. Keep up.

None of his other feats showed anything close to bullet-time, keep up and stop being a hypocrite.

The married couple is at it again.

One of his feats showed close to bullet time.
But neither of his feats has to.
As long as they didn't show limits far below bullet time.

Post the scene you claim is close to bullet time.

Then the same holds true for Hela's feats.
