No shit, but he is the only M2 to ever be promoted even as high as J6 in the 15-day era, irrespective of score.

You absolutely have to consider his accomplishments in the context of the massive banzuke vacuum that had just opened up. It's ridiculous to pretend that it didn't happen or to claim that he, or anyone in a comparable situation, "earned" their rank by being morally superior. Look at this image and tell me if you notice anything unusual.
