Normally these "powerful passports" still don't allow them to visit some of the largest and most interesting countries in the world: Russia, China, India and Brazil.
Number of countries really don't matter that much. Monaco counts as one country, so does Brazil.
My colleagues (many from Germany and Singapore) get a LOT more freedom to enter other countries, while I am stuck in immigration. (with my USA docs...)
I'm not sure that the comparisons available on the passport index actually tell the whole story.
For instance I compared the UK with the USA and specifically for visiting Cuba.
For both countries it said that a visa was required.
I think it's easier for a Brit to get a visa to go there- we've done it- but there are a few more hoops to jump through for an American to get one.
That's just one example, and my point is are there many other examples where one country's resident is more or less likely to obtain a visa somewhere compared to someone from another country?

Normally, if you're bothered to do a little bit of google search, you would notice that these powerful passports allow them to visit Brazil and India. Almost the entire world can enter India with a simple eVisa and all Europeans can enter Brazil without a visa.
On the other hand, China and Russia both have an extremely restrictive visa policy; almost no foreign visitors can enter them without a visa, powerful or powerless passports alike, so your argument is invalid.

You know, coming from you, this statement is so incredibly convincing that I can't help but cringe my ass off. I'm sure that you wouldn't mind giving up your Canadian passport in exchange of your old Chinese one. After all, numbers don't matter much. Amirite?
imo, every passport should be considered equal, it's just a piece of paper. What should value is their visa requirements.
