I am not sure you can label one hyperbole because you agree with the person making the claim and then turn around and list the other as gross exaggeration just because you disagree.I have seen Form refer to shoulder blades as similar to cardboard, which they are. I cannot recall a "paper thin" analogy but would assign some hyperbole to that.
I'm not going to listen to anything from a guy who claimed to shoot through a foot of muscle and bone. So if JVB claimed that bones get heavier with rutting, that sounds right on brand for him.
Gross exaggeration is not the same as hyperbole.
In the analogy I think both are gross exaggerations that are done for the sole purpose of convincing the other side that their opinion of what caliber to use is right.
When your stance is to use data to prove your point there is no place (or need) for hyperbole.
