Buzz may or may not understand what we mean by equity. But based on these statements:

At any rate, I don’t think whether or not you should bet (or raise) depends on your “pot equity.”

clearly indicate that he doesn't think pot equity plays much, if any, role in betting decisions. I strongly disagree with that assertion.
