"Burned to Ash" calcs

[Arkenis]

Not really picking on any verses, but I have vaguely seen a couple of historical feat/"burn to ash" statements where a character is stated to have burned some large city or country to ash and seeing DMUA's question on this calc also made me wonder why these calcs are calced taking the land mass as what got turned into ash? Another one was the Earl calc but that's been addressed as well.

Vapourization. Just the mass multiplied by the energy it takes to vaporize that mass.

No man, I'm asking how these are accepted given the context is explicitly not that. The K8 calc is about the kaiju burning down tokyo, not vaporizing the entire land mass.

Ah, I see. If that's the case, the calc would be invalid.

Are you saying they should only find the destruction of the buildings and skyscrapers? (Also think it's kinda assumptive to think they did it in one go)

Saying the feat shouldn't even be done if we don't have enough detail. As you say and as DMUA pointed out, we don't know if it was done in one attack.
