Are power levels Bullshit?

[Dragonball Black]

Alot of youtubers are making these power levels videos, such as Expergamez. I honestly dont have a problem with gauging the power levels themselves but I see 2 things wrong with this formula. To an extent, Super demonstrates that is doesnt want to rely on power levels like Z did. Vegeta at Super Saiyan 2 gave it all he had against Kid Buu, and even though he got some good hits in. He was eventually overwhelmed. In Super Trunks gave it all he had and went toe to toe for a little bit against Super Saiyan Rose and even matched Super Saiyan 3. So I think that Super is taking into affect a mixture of power levels and circumstances of the battlefield and each individual fighter. The second this is that these power level videos gauge the forms from Z to lowley. Tied in to the first problem, Trunks seems to have a SS2 as Strong as SS3, and a SS2 that can fight against SSRose witch is ment to be stronger slightly than Super Saiyan Blue. So These are the two problems I have with this system. Its an archaic one that we brought with us from Z that eventually made everything stale because the only real good fighters were the saiyans. Super is more about what can happen during the fight, like Hit taking out Super Saiyn Blue Vegeta and a blaster gun taking out Goku. Anybody can take these guys out if they let their guard down with the exception of beerus. What do you guys think?

On DBZWiki someone argued that even though ssj2 gohan is has much higher power level than ssj goku (cell games) goku can win because power levels dont mean anything

They certainly mean less in Super than they meant in the manga.

The premise is generally speaking "if you're BP is higher, you will win", all formulas and accurate levels aside.
