There's a few things that you have to ignore that john directly said that the beast in his own writing, to apply it to nero as well.
Nero did not ever do any "great signs" meaning, he never cured the sick, he never calmed a storm, He never turned water into blood or wine.
He also did not rule for 42 months, he ruled for much longer than that.
So you have to ignore literal important facts that john describes the beast as doing, and ruling for, and only pay attention to the similarities.
It's exactly like flat earth, or alien sighting beliefs. It's like, "look at all these coincidences, the other things that outright fail to match, are just not important for the discussion"
