however, you do not always need a high hand to go with nut low to drag an entire pot.

What I was referring to is a naked nut low's ability to push a better high off his hand with aggressive betting. On a 456 board, top set is going to have a hard time calling 3 pot-sized bets, do you see this?

About the kicker issue... I have played around 200k shorthanded PLO8 hands. I assure you, from experience, that kickers virtually never matter. If you truly think this is a mesure by which to evaluate starting hands, even shorthanded, you're in trouble.
