This is, mind you, an accurate illustration of his principle.

While 50 points of pure fighting skill will tend to overmatch 500 points in a variety of things, 10 points of High TL and a point or two of Pistol can certainly take care of a whole lot of points in ST, DX and weapon skills.

The broader principle is that points are highly context sensitive and eyeballing relative power in a given situation is usually more, not less, accurate.
