I'm surprised that in Bob's discussion of the "power of the pack", that the relationship to possible straights (incl SF's, and in the case of the DW 5K vs 3W hold, WRF's) that might be formed on the draw didn't enter into the picture.
In my mind, this cements exactly why when you're discarding extreme cards of the deck, the balance of the pack has "more power".
Knowing Bob, though, I wouldn't be surprised if he includes an exception to this in his concept.
