ain't that exactly what I highlighted from the beginning? you're too focused on the theoritical side i.e the definition while ignoring practicality in the process. Our definition of stat is by no means different but your approach simply lack flexibility that your theoritical assumption ended up not reflecting how she is in practice. It's never been an issue of stat definition in the first place, it's the differences between being practical or being stickler to definition.

To put it simply by traditional definition of stat her stat is what it is written up there, however IN PRACTICE she  received 6% boost on most thing she does (most, if you insist of that 'extra' cards). Thus there is a differences between what is written on top of paper on how it is in reality. It's fine to insist that "stat" is what written on paper but if that definition does not reflect how it is actually in practice then sticking to it is useless.

And as I said there's no need to apply the same logic on other servant, that's nonsense and non-practical because Shiki is a singularity, to be practical afterall means that you need to know how to choose which idea is usable and which are not in particular situation, especially differentiate the special case from the common case. Your problem of "Quick stat" or whatever are just made up problem because if you distance yourself from rigid definition you'll realize that they can be understood as something else that are described in simpler way than what mere defintion could offer so that they end up useful in practice.

tl;dr Being fair is not the same with being equal. Evaluating everyone with same standard might give you equal result but not a fair one.
