That is because in the normal strength of the word your strength is measured by such things as how much you can lift and how much you can carry - and Goliaths have Powerful Build. Even if the strength score is the same the actual quantity of physical strength is significantly greater for the Goliath - and that's a far bigger difference in actual physical strength than a simple +-2. So the problem those objecting to the versimilitude here isn't that a halfling is as strong as a goliath. They aren't. It's that two arbitrary and abstract numbers are equal, and those numbers happen to be called "strength".Solution: Rename the stats.</blockquote>
