I agree that the discussion is becoming rather tiresome, so I'll just leave it be. Wait, no, one more thing:

You seem to continuously be overestimating the extent of Palms abilities before she became a Chimera Ant. '''She was not a capable enhancer to begin with. '''She had little to know stamina, almost immediately running out of breath whilst chasing Killua and Gon(one of which was a transmuter and 8 years younger than her), and showed virtually nothing that proved she was competent in enhancement. Therefore, your "1 piece of evidence" doesn't hold up to much scrutiny if you're trying to say "a competent enhancer couldn't even break a coffee mug". Not only this, but you seem to be saying that Gon's feat during his Water Divination test was an unbeatable one and a complete fluke. So I ask you this. Do you honestly believe that master enhancers such as Uvo and Netero could not surpass Gon's Water Divination? That is a legitimate question. If you are saying that a broken Wine Glass is not enough evidence to base a hatsu off of it, then I would be inclined to agree with you. However, that isn't the whole truth; the truth is a child who had barely learnt the fundamentals of Nen caused a wine glass to break.

As such, I would like you to tell me, in writing that an enhancer like Netero or Uvo could not surpass Gon in this feat. I'm sure we can both agree that the power gap between Heaven's Arena Arc Gon and Netero and Uvo is almost unfeasible, but you seem to be basing everything off the fact that Gon's Water Divination test is the absolute limit. As such, I would like you to say that at most, they could match Heaven's Arena Gon in Water Divination, and maybe, just maybe if they tried hard enough, they could make the wine glass shatter. But wait, that's pushing it isn't it? The power gap between Netero and Gon is far to small for there to be any notable differences, right? Of course not; it's absurd. What I believe is that at the least, they could make the glass completely shatter, and I would be surprised if you didn't think so too. What is more likely in my eyes however, is that the wine glass would explode. I believe it is the only logical jump considering the unimaginable gap between them and Gon.

Essentially, what I'm saying is this. A hatsu based off Water Divination is unreliable. I agree with this completely; however, water divination is still a Canon method of testing ones Nen type, and enhancement is the most consistent form of Water Divination in the show. Secondly, Palm was not a competent enhancer, period. If you would evidence of this, I'll even give you a quote from her wiki page, " As a human Palm was not well trained compared to the other Hunters, demonstrated by how easily  Killua  outran her. Even armed with a kitchen knife, she did not pose a threat to him"(Hunter x Hunter, Volume 21, Chapter 220). Therefore, using her as evidence that a "competent enhancer couldn't break a coffee mug" is completely ludicrous in my eyes. Thirdly, a beginner at Nen who had barely mastered the fundamentals caused a wine glass too crack and chip. I refuse to believe that you don't think enhancers such as Uvo or Netero could exceed that feat, In my eyes, Netero at the least would be able to make the wine glass explode(entropically if I might add).
