Oh of course, there's more than star rating involved in pp calc, but i did specifically say 'slightly easier' than the hard part at the end, which considering those jumps are near-impossible, would still be very difficult. the other factors include object count, which would be the same whether they are easily spaced/placed or made very hard, as long as its easier than the hardest part, circles vs sliders, etc. doesnt matter it would be worth the same for a much harder map. this phenomenon happens at all star ratings.
essentially in my first example comparing iron to middle of the night, they may not be that close in diff [5.2 vs 4.5] but compared to the hardest parts of remote control, if those are 5 star, the middle 330x combo honestly watching the replay most of it just looks piss easy compared to the hard parts so like.. 2 stars in comparison.. so even if you made that part 2 times harder, there would be no gain on star rating or pp.
basically... overrated maps gonna be overrated, you can't just limit to saying the only overrated maps are the ones you've personally fc'd, they are just also overrated in the same way, just significantly easier.
best friendS is a much much better example for this than remote control tbh, theres so few people who can pull remote control dt off.
