Dragon Ball Kaioken Validity

Okay, this is a simple thread to officially adopt whether we use kaioken hypothetical multipliers as linear as the normal ones or not

In this thread , apparently it was decided to not use kaioken multipliers that were not shown having a stated power level.

This makes no sense to me, as it basically removes our ability to perform a simple deduction

We know Kaioken is a two times multiplier
We know Kaioken x4 is a four times multiplier (bottom right image)
We know Kaioken x20 is a twenty times multiplier at least as it allowed Goku fight and damage a 50% Frieza, who has a PL of 60 million (top left), exactly 20 times above base Goku

Why do we not do the same for the other numbers?
We have the starting point
We have the end point,
We have another point in between, all saying the same thing

Is it not a far more burden of proof to assume that the number in-between kaioken and Kaioken x20 suddenly change their mechanism?

If we have a stated mass of an object and a stated volume of that object, is finding the density considered an outlandish assumption or something?

The point of this thread it to allow the power increases of the kaioken to those Goku didn't bother using, such as the KKx10 at the beginning of the namek saga,

Saiyan Saga
Kaioken - Kaioken x4

Namek saga
Kaioken - Kaioken x10

Frieza Saga
Kaioken - Kaioken x20

Agree:
Disagree:
 
First of, the thread didn't removed the Kaioken multiplier, it removed downscaling from PL as it creates multiple inconsistencies such as Planet Level Kid Goku, it wasn't even aimed at Kaioken specifically

Second of all, a PL of 60 Million wouldn't be 20 times Goku's power since, as stablished in the dowmgrade thread and several other threads PLs simply aren't linear like that, i you want to PL numbers to say the Freeza is X ammount of times stronger than Goku, why not do the same for, say, farmer with a Shotgun? You can't exclude same examples of your method without an in universe reason, the logic is the exact same in this case

Also if you want to use "kaioken that Goku didn't bother using" then why not use a Hypotetical Kaioken times 1400, which could theoretically do, even if it would kill him in the process, which by your logic would make his PL higher than Final Form Freeza at 100% to downscale base goku directly from Final Form Freeza?

This is just "Power Levels are linear, let's calc the difference between them" with a little disguise, it doesn't change the core problem at all
