The point is that the "height" thing tells us nothing about how tall or short "Brave" actually is. It's basically meaningless without the actual model. It probably won't even be useful information once we do have the model, honestly.
I mean we know it stands for how many times they scaled it so again, its not nothing. There are just too many possibilities for what it could mean with no real indication that it could be one over another.
It sounds like semantics but the difference is that one way you could never talk about height because it truly has no meaning and the other you can see if other data fits with the height data we have.
For example, one reason a character could need to be scaled more while not ending up at that same height (i.e. not actually being as tall as Ness) would be if they were short and fat. So if I know this and I put that with other things I observe I could say, maybe Slime fits the data because he probably wouldn't be as tall as Ness but since he is short and fat he might have needed to be scaled higher than other of the same height.
Now that doesn't mean the height shows it has to be someone who is short and fat but it could. It could also mean that they used another character as a reference and scaled them accordingly, i.e. Ridley and Samus having the same height. So you could also look at other characters of the same height and wonder who might be designed with their size in mind.
It's all speculation and none of it is in any way
FACT but it's not irrelevant data.
Because it is meaningless, it's not like we have anything else to go buy other than the numbers. Height doesn't really tell us how tall or short Brave actually is. It's not we have any model to go off by. Which is why its basically useless when we don't actually have an official model of the character, and even then it's useless cause its basically what's the point when the character gets revealed.
Well then lets just shut down the whole thread because any speculation is meaningless before the announcement comes.
