A2, a hand with a value of 16 in your system, is monumentally stronger than KQ, a hand with a value of 25. Defend.

I didn't really read his post so i'm not going to defend his "system" but to say that A2 is monumentally stronger than KQ is wrong.

clearly K6o is a better hand.
you cant directly compare hands like that. the point op is making can be clearly demonstrated by the fact that in contested pots, where kicker matters, A2 is very often going to lose you bets to better aces and KQ will often win you bets against worse kings. not to mention the fact that it can make nut straights (and more straights).
