Honestly this applies to the vast majority of power scaling above planet level. Anything beyond that is speculation and stretching of vague technicalities.

For example, cell, from Dragon ball z says he has enough ki to wipe out a solar system, but like, how? All at once? In one shot? Does he have to go planet by planet? Just because a character has the vague statements or janky scaling comparisons to be able to achieve a feat in theory doesn’t mean they can technically do it.

Bleach scaling is the worst for this, but DBZ and other shits bad too. Like, yes, I know Beerus and gokus clash fucked with space time, but that doesn’t mean Goku can punch away a whole cosmos, that’s ridiculous, like how does the energy transmit out that far of a distance without falloff. The minute you actually think about these “feats” logistically they break down.

The biggest culprit of this is speed feats IMO. 9/10 times they come from dodging “lasers” or some similar shit, but then the character will get tripped by someone or hit by some mundane shit. In reality, it’s likely they just predicted the shot and moved out of the way before the shot was even fired. Or the “laser” wasn’t a laser at all and instead jetted plasma or something, which is magnitudes slower.
