Super Vegetto is said to be perhaps stronger than a Super Saiyan 4, so he should be able to crush Rild on any form.
But he's not, so he doesn't.
Even if Super Vegetto is weaker than a Super Saiyan 4 (Goku), they said perhaps, so this implies that they are not far in power.

It wouldn't mean jack shit if it wasn't mentioned that Vegetto is so strong that perhaps he's even stronger than a SSJ4. It's nothing but an implication that they're at least close in power. If you think otherwise, that's OK. But don't go around saying "it doesn't mean jack shit" when it may very well DO, according to others.

I honestly don't see how you come to the conclusion that Super Vegetto is weaker than FPSSJ Kid Goku =/. His base form is stronger than Kid Buu, SSJ would not boost him to Super Vegetto's level.
Vegeta: "Funny... I seem to recall Kakarot being fed the same information right before he transformed; the distinct look on your faces when he went Super Saiyan didn't exactly inspire confidence. One does not predict or calculate power like ours."

Because in the anime, Kid Boo is the strongest form of Boo. GT Goku is stronger than Vegetto.

Base Vegetto can be stronger than Pure Boo (anime) as well. The anime also probably boosted base Vegetto in the anime, and we never saw how strong Vegetto really is. So, base Vegetto can easily be stronger than GT SS Goku.

Not to mention that you are taking the anime lines way too seriously. The line that SS3 Goku & Ultimate Gohan aren't strong enough to beat Gotenks Boo is still there, and Vegetto can't be weaker than Goku.

Yeah, but that is retconned by Pure Boo being the strongest Boo and Goku being able to beat him. Vegetto needed Super Saiyan against Gohan-Boo even with the buff, he's firmly below base Goku.

It wasn't a retcon, it was an error.

You know what's an error? The statement that Vegetto might possibly be stronger than a Super Saiyan 4.

'Cause he's not.

Your opinion. Nothing contradicts Super Vegetto being slightly stronger, equal, or slightly weaker than a Super Saiyan 4.

Like I mentioned before, one's own self isn't always included in that statement. Just look at Movie 12; Goku likewise pulled the "ain't never felt a ki as amazin' as that" line about Janemba... then proceeded to absolutely and easily waste Janemba's chubby gigantic ass with Super Saiyan 3.

Likewise, Goku was Vegetto. Thus even if Goku was aware of how strong he and Vegeta were when combined, Super Vegetto's power likely wouldn't count towards comparisons of people Goku's faced.

Because in the anime, Kid Boo is the strongest form of Boo. GT Goku is stronger than Vegetto.
K lets say Kid Buu is stronger than Buuhan. The SEG states that Vegetto is Goku x Vegeta. Now lets take your power level for Kid Buu, 1,000,000,000,000. Now lets take your power levels for base Goku and Vegeta, 80,000,000 and 64,000,000, and multiply them together. 80,000,000 x 64,000,000 = 5,120,000,000,000,000. Vegetto is 5,120x stronger than your level for Kid Buu. Now lets make Vegetto a SSJ. 5,120,000,000,000,000 x 50 = 256,000,000,000,000,000. That's 256,000x stronger than Kid Buu. Now I can assure you that Goku is no more than 100x stronger than Kid Buu, and thats obviously being generous. Goku's base level in GT at max is 100,000,000,000,000 according to your levels. Now lets make Goku a SSJ. 100,000,000,000,000 x 50 = 5,000,000,000,000,000. Base Vegetto > SSJ Kid GT Goku. I should also point out that Goku's statement about Kid Buu doesn't have to be taken seriously.

He doesn't believe Vegetto = Goku × Vegeta to be literal. Or at least that it uses battle power units, anyway.

I don't see why its hard to accept Vegetto being that strong. The SEG flat out states that Goku x Vegeta = Vegetto. Well battle power units measure Ki and the only thing that matters in a fight is Ki so I would imagine it uses battle power.

The SEG also states that Vegetto is as tremendous as multiplication. It would appear that its Goku times Vegeta.
