This brings up a common mistake people have with GURPS - they only look at the stats and not advantages, skills, or techniques.
One of best example of this "power through" mentality I have seen was in the fan created
GURPS Mummy. Even in 3e there were better ways to achieve the same results without sending the stats into orbit and 4e has made things even easier.
