No, I believe he means that small mistakes that add up quickly with lower HP are easily compensated for with higher power. I have seen lots of people that upset a kart and can easily make up for it with a little go pedal and in a lap or two be right where they were. Make mistakes like that with a 206 and they cost you considerably more in the long run. You can't make up the time you lost in a lap.
This is more evident in the limited and open class where you have to usually find the edge of power and drive it there. But, usually having a little extra in reserve if you get out of line you can usually push the go pedal and make up a little bit of ground if you do everything else right. The animals can be this way, the clones can too. They don't take as long to pick back up to rpm from mistakes and get going again. As I said a lap or two with them and you can usually be back where you were no problem. The 206 will generally show those mistakes quite a lot and take you some time to recover from.
