I’m one of them and I stand on the hill. I don’t like chain scaling that way because itd be like saying Krillin genuinely scales to high complex multi and irrelevant speed because he clashed with Goku

No it's not. That requires ignoring the fact that Goku was literally holding back and only using Blue to scare Krillin.

He didn’t ā€œscareā€ Krillin, he was using it to test Krillins power. Regardless its a stupid scene people use to say Krillin scales to high outer with irrelevant speeds even though thats not the case canonically

That's not what he was doing either. He was using it to see how Krillin would handle a battle against someone he sees as overwhelmingly more powerful than he was. Using that scene is a terrible way of arguing against chain scaling because using that scene actively requires ignoring the context of the scene. It's less chain scaling bad and more media illiteracy bad.

Yeah, thats literally testing him isnt it? He was seeing how Krillin would handle someone above his paygrade. Aka testing him.

Using that scene is a terrible way of arguing against chain scaling because using that scene actively requires ignoring the context of the scene.

Again, yeah thats what im arguing as well. Scaling K Rool to Mario off DK isnt a solid, fully concrete idea with no arguments against it, kinda like the SSB argument that people still use and bring up to argue Krillin scales to Goku
