I actually find this argument of yours more amusing than any other, because in reality I expected Scott to be weaker than other alphas, starting off, even as a "true alpha." I figured he would take a while to come into his power. That was expected. The thing I didn't expect was him to be weaker than omegas and betas, which he has proven to be. This expectation was also held by the characters in the show. The show has pointed out his weakness as unusual or extraordinary. Not me. But what the show has pointed out (in dialogue) doesn't segue with what you've actually seen.

The examples given of Scott's "weakness" in this week's episode fall apart when shown side by side with another Alpha in the same situation. They did the same things with the same outcome.

I'll agree that Scott tends to hold back - I won't agree that this is a sign of "weakness" because other Alphas in similar situations held back too. Holding back in that situation with liam is not a sign of weakness he had to hold back in order to save him but we're not talking about that particular situation, we're talking about his fights since 3b up until now
