How can Shenron revive people?


Shenron can bestow any wish as long as it does not exceed the power of his
creator. Then how can Shenron (Earth) revive people, when Kami couldn't do it
himself?

Another way of looking at this is that Kami did not understand the full extent
of his Dragon Balls' power. You see the Dragon Balls getting stronger after
Kami's ones, maybe because they knew how they function properly while Kami was
still getting to know his limits. So, maybe Kami could revive people but left
it to the Dragon Balls as they were harder to get, and were more of a trial
for people; or, Kami just believed, "Shenron can bestow any wish as long as it
does not exceed the power of his creator" because he did not know how to make
Shenron more powerful. As much as I can remember and can find it was only Kami
who said this, so most likely this was only a theory of his.
