It is most certainly within a Pope’s power to dictate how Mass will be said.

How do you figure. Most bishops won't even abide by the changes or standards he already tells them. He can't even remove bishops in the U.S.(There have been at least 2 bishops who refused to be removed by him) The majority of U.S. bishops support him less than the SSPX.

I guess in your view states don’t have the authority to impose and enforce speed limits because so many cops and prosecutors drive above the speed limit in their daily routine (just like most people do).

Fellay is an apostate and he. The shepherd Pope Benedict XVI is attempting to bring him back into the fold as a sheep, but Fellay apparently won’t abide any shepherd himself (apparently he is above that). Fellay’s attitude is very Protestant (”I am my own pope”).

If anything is harmful to B16 it is painting him as an impotent leader - far more harmful than me noting that Fellay is being disrespectful and far less than humble in his dealings with B16.
