I have a problem with "glitch powers".

In The Widening Gyre, Way Big unceremoniously gains super-speed, and uses it to create a water cyclone to shoot a Garbage Monster into the Sun. Derrick J Wyatt claims that this, and other inconsistencies, are caused by "glitch powers," errors in the prototype Omnitrix and Ultimatrix that allowed some aliens to gain the powers of others.

...How?

Omniverse answered many lingering questions, including the question of why Ben sometimes transforms into the wrong alien. For all the things Omniverse explains, you'd think a flaw so widespread as "glitch powers" would be covered, at least in an off-handed line by Azmuth. Nope! Nothing. This leads me to believe that "glitch powers" don't exist, and that this was a decision made by DJW without consulting the other writers. If this were a real story element, it most likely would've been covered in Omniverse.
