The Opposition?

I dislike those so-called "absolute abilities" because they lead to all kinds of mind-boggling conclusions. Let's forget about the other relevant factors, which of course are vital under most circumstances and should not be forgotten otherwise.

So, theoretically, Dan Tai Sin might boom-headshot the Soul King with his special ability because, well, it "will pierce anything regardless of defense". How does this work? What amount of power goes into his ability so that it allows him to pierce everything? Who, or rather what, determines that? Why would he be able to affect someone (not necessarily the Soul King) who is vastly superior in such an unimpeded manner?

Personally, I just go with "weak, average, strong, extremely strong", etc. No comparisons, no controversies. And no things such as "This 10th-Seat Officer has a Shikai that creates an unbreakable shield. Go figure, even the Soul King can't do shit about it because it's unbreakable."

TL;DR: Nitpicking.
