Debunking u/Glittering-Humor9047 part 2
First of all, if u haven’t read Part 1 — https://www.reddit.com/r/LookismPowerScalers/s/C7ujuZGoxa
So before we debunk u/Glittering-Humor9047 we need to know what is his argument?.....
His argument is basically that Tom said the only way to defeat someone on a Path is to find your own Path, meaning someone who is Pathless shouldn’t be able to defeat a Path user. From there, he argues that SB UI Daniel can’t be above Kitae because sb ui Daniel doesn’t have a Path, while Kitae does. He also interprets Tom’s statement as specifically referring to people who have perfected their Path, which is why he believes a perfected Path user would naturally be above someone without a Path.On top of that, he argues that Path users are essentially in a different dimension, and saying that Pathless people who don’t possess a Path can’t be on their level.
His Path > Pathless argument is on the last slide, so you can check it yourself.
Now for the debunking — the first thing you need to understand is that his interpretation is based on the assumption that Tom was talking specifically about people who have perfected their Path. Which I don't think that's correct. Tom is simply talking about Path users, not only people who have perfected their Path.
This is pretty easy to prove. Tom says “those who walk on their Path are on different lv”, which lines up with Jinyoung saying that "Path users are on a different domain". Then, after Jinyoung finds his own Path — which was clearly not perfected — he says that he has “set his foot on that domain now.” That means simply having a Path is enough to be in that domain. Nothing suggests that you need to perfect your Path first. So this already refutes his assumption that Tom was specifically talking about perfected Path users.
Now onto the actual Path > Pathless argument, which Kitae himself already disproved. Kitae beat Path Daniel without using a Path of his own, meaning a Pathless person can clearly defeat a Path user.
I know some of you might argue that Daniel was already injured, so that loss shouldn't count as a proper defeat. But what u all need to understand is Kitae didn't beat Daniel by simply outlasting him, he specifically fought against Daniel's Path mechanism, as shown on the second-to-last slide. Daniel being fresh would only give him more stamina — it wouldn't change how his Path mechanism works. So the result wouldn't have changed just because Daniel had more stamina. Kitae would've still beat him by fighting against those mechanisms.
Now the last part I need to debunk is the claim that only Path users can exist on that domain. The simplest counterexample is literally UI OG Daniel himself.
Kitae stated that fighting Path Jinyoung was like the previous fight hadn't even ended, referring to his fight with UI OG Daniel. This directly puts UI OG Daniel on equal footing with Path Jinyoung. And since Path Jinyoung has already reached that domain, UI OG Daniel has also reached that domain by being equal to him,means a Pathless person can also reach that same domain.
In short, u just need to understand that UI Daniel is an exception and straight up defies all logic ✌️
Last, I know this part can get pretty complicated, so if u have any doubts or think I missed something, feel free to ask. I’ll answer them and make another post explaining it properly.
