The same issue... Eternity was going on about how LT represented TOAA and Warlock said that TOAA's power was a "Baseless assertion" or something like that, and when LT latr said that he represented forces that were > Warlock, Warlock disbelieved him.
But I think that on the second-third page he said that TOAA being > IG was a baselsss assertion.

Toaa/god (is an avatar) a combination of the "artists" & "writers" of Marvel.
They think up ideas and draw them on paper which later become Marvel comic books.
The stories in these comic books take place withIN the Omniverse (the Marvel playground)
Toaa/god is located in Marvel "heaven" which is located beyond the Omniverse,
from "heaven" Toaa/god create everything that takes place in Marvel,
and just like real Human beings,
Toaa/god doesn't know what's coming next until they create and draw it on panel.
THOTI is basically what Toaa/god would be,
if they/he manifested withIN the Omniverse. (basically the Supreme Being)
So while THOTI makes one the Supreme Being of the Omniverse,
the Omniverse itself, aswell as THOTI, Thanos and everything else,
are just drawing on a piece of paper to the Toaa/god (avatar of the writers/artists)
This is why I said earlier,
Toaa/god (writer/artist) is inconsequential in terms of clasification and/or categorization.
Warlock thought he had absolute power when he said that to Eternity, he didn't actually mean that Eternity would be TOAA's equal. The IG with Spider-Man would be the same as the IG with Eternity because the IG grants the same powers.
Well maybe in power wise that's true but with somebody like Spider-Man mind it would overwhelm him because like with Thanos he was not ready or really wanting the power that's why Nebula was able to still the gauntlet. Thanos beat himself and lost the IG by being careless

Tiamut/Gauntlet for the win
I tend to agree with some of the posters here, a greater understanding of reality ,physics ,space and time etc...would definetly make a better more experienced weilder of the gauntlet, so yes a abstract would be a more powerfull opponent
The IG grants omniscience and with omniscience one would know how to not be overwhelmed. Thanos beating himself has to do with his character, but it also served as a plot device that furthered the IG series.
Well he at the time first said that he found it hard to believe, and later that it had "Yet to be proven"...
So He clearly at the time considered himself to be around LT/TOAA... And he said Eternity would feel the same way. Well if Warlock feels that way, it's easy to tell how he doesn't mean that Eternity w/ IG would be above a regular IG user.
The reason Warlock was defiant at first, was to give us a story,
because as he said, he's trapped by his destiny.
But he always knew he'd submit, like he always knew the LT was above him:
Now in Eternity's case,
I believe Warlock meant at the very least that Eternity with the IG,
would possibly consider the power the LT represents an equal.
Of course Warlock meant the LT himself, not Toaa/god,
for the LT is the power that the LT represents.
The LT is acting on authority of Toaa/god (as the LT stated)
so when the LT said, "I represnt forces that dwarf even your might"
the LT was talking about himself, since he is the representitive of said forces.
Toaa/god never interferes in the stories,
why should he/they, for he/they themselves create the stories.
That's what the LT is for, to interfere on behalf of Toaa/god.
