The distance between streak lengths does not necessarily mean that a streak is significative. For example, if a team has the most consecutive games with a player whose name starts with the letter "C" at first base, say 2451 games, and the second closest team only has 291, I don't think it makes the record significative.
Basically, what Akrobat is probably saying is that consecutive games played are less significative than a hitting streak.
