And you friendo fail to understand basic scientific principles in experimentation. In order to run an experiment, be this a physical experiment IRL or a thought experiment, such as this, all variables aside from the variable that you wish to test, I.E. the variables that set hinezumi and salanders apart from each other, must be nullified and equalized in order to accurately analyze the subject of study. In order to determine which race is superior overall then you must remove the factors of individual variation in order to get at the differences between the races themselves. To do that, you need fighters with an equal amount of talent, training, experience, DE, and skill or as close as is possible if we were having a RL experiment. Since we don't RL Salamanders and Hinezumi to put in a ring and must rely on thought experiment, we are fully capable of equalizing all non-experimental variables in order to get an accurate answer.

As for comparing Hinezumi to RL rats, when you find me a detailed analysis of the mythical fire rats tail or show where the fire rat has grabbed things or poked people in the eye with its tail we will use that. Until then we will have to go with the next best thing and use its real life counter part as a model for how the tail works. I see no reason as to why a Hinezumi should have a tail that dexterous enough to poke people in the eye if the most it's mythical couter part can get out of it was a tail lash and when it's RL counter parts can't even do that much.
