Honestly, I feel like it was the other way around. It would make more sense than that. Editors want to make the series better in whatever way they can, while the author will usually do what they intend to. Editor changes also happen sporadically, so its possible that he had an editor that thought he was fine as is, then was given a different editor who sees stuff and thinks "this will never work etc etc because its just a manga". Ishida isn't ignorant to science. He mentioned Ghoul Biology. He should know that thats all it takes to get people to want such a thing. I think he suggested a fair number, and the editor was like "Thats it? But Tatara has been built up for so long! Make him look stronger than Eto."

Keep in mind that an editor has more control over the series than the author does. The editor decides if it makes it to the printer or not. For example, its very likely we were supposed to get the Eto/Furuta fight, but with everything else going on, I can see the editor saying "do it off-screen and come back to it later" but that still could've been Ishida's decision.

I'm just saying that at least some of our criticisms we give Ishida should be given to the editor, because they're a major playing factor in the manga making game.
