when they gave the example of QJ and the flop comes (10h 6c 3s)... they dont value the two overcards as full outs.. why is that

Because you are drawing to a very weak hand. It is easy to spike top pair and still lose, so an "out" to top pair should not be treated the same as an "out" to the nut flush. That's the basic idea behind discounting outs; they're discounted to reflect the increased possibility of making your hand and still losing.
