The field records maximum explicitly supported device/system input, not measured battery power or supplied 65 W adapter. Exact maker A1M dock paragraph separately calls maximum charging speed 65 W. That wording does not explain negotiation or battery-only power, so literal scope difference remains reported. No claim of 100 W flowing to battery.
