Yes, I agree with Muller's observation that the archbishop is unusually
effective against pawn formations in CRC, like no other piece in the game. 
Moreover, I find your description of pawns as obstacles that create a
terrain, usually through the length of a game, insightful and interesting. 
Unfortunately, valid observations and descriptions often do not have a
practical use toward quantitative calculation within a theory.

The approach I use within my theory is analogous to describing basic
chemistry strictly in terms of atoms and never mentioning molecules even as
I find myself in agreement with abstract observations by experts regarding
molecules.  In other words, I stick exclusively to basic terms and easily
calculated factors to achieve results that roughly correspond to measured,
established piece values.
