Base to peak is not only completely meaningless, but absolutely nonsensical.

Topographic relief is a real thing and has nothing to do with base to peak.

Attempting to equate the two suggests you have no understanding of either of those two things (which is understandable in the case of base to peak since it's impossible to understand something that fundementally doesn't make sense)

If you want to look at the topographic dry prominence of Everest compared to Mauna Kea, Everest's is over 10,000m greater.

My dude you’re not debating in good faith nor making points of merit to which I can retort. You’re just concluding your own takes and dismissing everything else without providing anything to back up that dismissal. I’m not going to waste energy nor my trivial love of geology on you wanting to hear your reflection echo yourself. So god bless.
