Here's what I think he's saying here, please correct me if I'm off: Even though a check/call is probably a more profitable way to play the strongest hands by themselves, when we do this we weaken our bet flop/bet turn range a lot (because it's already pretty wide to take advantage of how our opponent plays the flop and turn, etc). So we play these strongest hands in an "inferior" way by barreling to protect our bet flop/bet turn range because it is so wide (and profitable). The net effect is that the way we play our strongest hands loses some value, but causes the rest of our bet flop/bet turn range to gain so much value that it's a net +EV.
