I recently received a warning for saying that Kamehameha defines things in a way that requires one to suspend their common sense or completely ignore the published definition of the word.

This is one of those times.

Omnipotence cannot be relative. I can be almost absolutely sure that I can do things a 14-year old can't, so does that make me more omnipotent? No.

But turn it around. Can a 14-year old do the same things I can do?

And I don't mean legally, I mean capability.

Absolutely not. Simple example... could a 14-year talk my wife into having sex with him? No. Therefore, there is something he can't do, and that makes him not omnipotent.
