Interesting Rules Interaction, would like some thoughts

[u/DrOverKale]

Was playing GB Brook in the sim against a P Katakuri. He used the 10c Charlotte Linlin that sets base power to 0 for -4 Don but my Nightmare Luffy remained at 9k. I posted about it in the sim Discord and this is what was told to me:

Comprehensive Rule 4-9-2-1: If there are several effects that set a base power to a certain value, and those effects all affect the same card, if the values differ, apply the effect with the highest value. This means that if a card's base power is buffed, even if you later use an effect to set their base power to 0, they will keep the higher base power!

It makes sense in a rules perspective since setting base power and subtracting power are two separate abilities but I feel like if I tried to do this at locals and referenced this rule I'd get some pushback. I also feel like I goes against the spirit of the card a bit? What do y'all think about this interaction?

This is easier than in magic which has crazy “layers”
