That is our point. People can be much more powerful than titles suggest. They can also be less powerful than their title might suggest, although it is less common. There is no formula for this though, which is the reason I am against this. It is not a person's true political power. Authoritative power, sure, but political power, no.
Scores are shorthand for what is
objectively knowable, i.e. official powers. It tells you that the office of the ruler of Darka is objectively more powerful than the office of the ruler of Lyonesse, that the Margrave of Echiur is more powerful than the Earl of Tofino. Power that is based on subjective criteria remains (by definition) subjective. In mathematical terms, it’s what’s known as a variable.
