I consider it direct, since the game isn't played with 1 unit vs 1 unit, but in a squad mentality.
If everything you say is only based on 1 unit specifics, then Giants are the best in no uncertain terms. But since the game is composed of assigned resources and gold on a per unit basis as well as size, then you can't simply ignore the entirety of squad size, unit size, standards and any number of things when saying "This is the best".
If your point is that morale as a system is unaffected by size thus Giants and Humans are no different based on simple number values, I don't think anyone was saying counter to this. What I do think was said is that there are alot of factors for which Giants are more prone to make morale checks than other units. Most of your argument has been 'read' and 'heard'. The reality within the game is that you have to take special consideration of Giants below a certain Squad size because of the factors of morale.
If you were *only* talking about PD, which every player pays the same cost per point of militia, then you are correct. I don't think anyone has said that Jotun PD isn't on top or near the top of the PD heap.
