I see, but when someone write a post after that of someone else without specifying who they are referring to it's normal to guess someone replies to the post above. Where was it obvious reading your post that it was half-direct to Otaku? I wrote 1, 2, 3 points and you did the same writing a final phrase after them. You should have written the final sentence at the beginning at least, but it would have been still easily misunderstandable.

Please, you have to understand why she said that. She didn't said it because Touma is stronger than her, but because he regained his "shining detemintation", the same he had when he saved her and the Sisters and let him fighting Accel, who is much stronger than her, never giving up even when heavily injured. Not to mention that we know what Mikoto can do when fighting seriously but she didn't even in NT 10 against Touma. Even in the case she said she couldn't beat Touma because she is weaker than him it would have meant nothing as she never experienced a serious fight with Touma and ergo her would have just been a baseless supposition. And that's what she did in NT 10, she suppose as she say she doubts she could beat him, though again she thinks this only because of Touma determination. About the environment it's true that it is important but as Mikoto power can affect environment too (air, iron sand, electrons) and she can use multiple attacks from different directions, unless the fight occurs in very favourable field for Touma, she would win as long as IT/Dragons don't appear.

If we are talking about a battle then yes. As said in my previous post, in this discussion we were talking about the strenght of their power. When talking about who can win in a battle people normally talk about who can win based onny on the skills and without external advantage/disadvantages. You are confusing what Mikoto can do and what she would do, which are completely different things, and this is seen countless times even for other characters in the series. True, Mikoto will never fight Touma seriously, I nevre argued that, but this doesn't mean she doesn't have the power to easily defeat him. Look at Othinus: she could have defeated Touma when she wanted, but she didn't for feelings and plot-related reasons (well, in the end she kills him, though she resurrect him soon after). It's the same.
