In regards to the databook, I've seen people state that (a) a character is stronger solely because their stats total is higher than another character's stats total and (b) a character is stronger in Genjutsu if they scored a 5 while another character scored only a 4.
I do not think either of these two arguments are valid. I'm pretty sure that, like Bleach, Naruto databooks list a character's stats with respect to that character's maximum potential. Since 5 is the highest you can score in each category, if someone has a 5 in, let's say, strength then that character has with his/her peak in strength. He/She has reached his/her plateau. He/She cannot go any higher in that category.
I'd also like to add that a person's plateau differs from another person's plateau. Everyone doesn't max out at the same point. One person's 5 may be stronger than another person's 5. Furthermore, knowing that everyone has a different plateau, it's also possible that a person's 4 in a certain category is stronger than another person who has a 5 in the same category.
Knowing these two concepts makes the (a) and (b) arguments invalid. Therefore, just because a person's stats total 35 does not necessarily mean he is better/stronger than a person whose stats total 30.
