Why pick pointless nits in legitimate questions?

i was trying to imply that comparing one hand to another in isolation is a somewhat pointless exercise in many cases

When I'm in the big blind with two chips left in a tournament, one opponent has raised and everyone else has folded, I don't give a good goddam about how my hand plays after the flop; I'm going to be all-in, and what matters is my hand's heads-up all-in equity versus my opponent's hand. How the hand plays post-flop isn't pertinent; there's no more action, and there's going to be a showdown.
If either I or my opponent know that a particular card is going to hit on the flop, well, there's something fishy going on.
Another way to look at your response: Heads-up, AA is a huge favorite against 22. But if you know a deuce is going to flop, the AA is now a significant dog. So what?
