The others at Camp Jupiter saw him as a traveling oddball, about as harmless as the fauns. Hazel knew better. She hadn’t grown up with Nico, hadn’t even known him very long. But she knew Nico was more dangerous than Reyna, or Octavian, or maybe even Jason. Then she’d met Percy.”

this was what hazel said though I'm still on percy's side. I hope you realize that that quote still proves the exact same point. Hazel says Nico was stronger than Jason, she considered him the most powerful demigod she knew. By saying 'then she met Percy" Rick is directly saying that Percy is more powerful than Jason and equal with Nico, or at least that's how Hazel sees it. But Rick wouldn't include it if was wrong so I'm gonna take Hazel's word for it.

and there is a difference between Paraphrasing and lying. They passed nothing as a direct quote from the book, what they said conveyed the same message as the direct quote, so being a jerk and correcting them is simply pettiness. Its not like they said something so far off that it might be confusing. Like seriously what did you ad to the debate by posting that? The quote says that maybe Nico is more powerful than Jason. It should then be pointed out that she wasn't sure if Percy was more powerful than Nico. In summary the quote is inconclusive on who is more powerful.
