Basically, yes - and that's exactly the problem for those who prefer something more concrete.

The problem with that is that it provides no way to tell when the PCs have reached or exceeded Lancelot's ability.
Now, I suspect the HQ2 answer to that is something along the lines of "when it becomes interesting to tell a story about that", and that's fine for many people. But it's not what I'm looking for.

No; indeed, I don't think it *can* be settled, because there's no "right" answer. It's like arguing whether Star Trek is better than Doctor Who - it depends purely on personal preferences.
