I admit I'm no mathlete, but this statement seems completely contradictory to me. How can it be constant if it varies? Or am I just missing a reference somewhere?

I think what is inferred is that Z is different based on the stat in question.

So for Surge, for example Z=38 while for Crit rating Z=75. Those numbers are likely ridiculously off, I literally just made them up, but I think it illustrates the point that Z is a constant, but it varies based on the stats. Perhaps Z_i (Z subscript i) would have been a better way to write it out (i.e. the constant Z for stat i), but it makes little difference functionally.

Yes you are correct.

I have a BS in physics so that concept of a constant which varies between situations is common to me, sorry about that.
