:I skipped the 1st-largest gap (between 22.4% and 6.3%) because it's so far down on the scale between two characters that are universally recognized as not being any sort of clone. Had I added more pairs of characters with similarities but are certainly not clones, I'm sure I could fill in this gap until it no longer exists, but that doesn't seem like a good use of effort. I'm not sure where you say I'm using the 6th-largest gap from; gap 6 is between 73.3% and 68.1%, where there is no division. In addition, explicitly creating "limbo" categories that contain characters defeats the entire purpose of this exercise, which is to conclusively determine who is a something-clone and who is not.

::I miscounted that gap as being 6.2%, not 5.2%, my bad. Anyway, I don't think it defeats the purpose, I think it better demonstrates the gray areas that exist as I said (and as you said: "it's a continuous scale, even if the terms are used in a fairly hardline fashion"), as well as actually making clear that this isn't a definitive thing and that people can disagree on the exact lines, but that's just a difference in philosophy I suppose.
