You can't make a blanket statement like that without knowing the rules, and, in any event, for almost any set of rules, it isn't true. Table D17, p. 522 of BJA3 gives EORs under all different rules sets. For example, for S17, DAS, the ace is worth 1.13 times the ten. But for H17, DAS, the TEN is worth 1.065 times the ace! And, if surrender is offered in a S17 DAS game, the ace is worth 1.027 times the ten.
In short, the ace is NOT worth 1.2 times more under any circumstances, and sometimes it is worth much less, particularly in H17 games.
And wouldn't it be nice, since the numbers are staring everyone in the face, that we didn't make a 98-post thread on something that merits NO discussion whatsoever??
