Ok i think get what you meant from the maths thing. But id have to say thats a very simplistic way of calculating power especially in Bleach. We cant say that all captains have the same level of power( for example mayuri clearly isnt as powerful as kyoraku) and thus we cant equate a captains poer level generally to equalling 1 so your maths fails right there. I would generally suggest staying away from maths in a series like this where there are many variables in power levels. Secondly i have already stated that obviously Ichigo had hidden powers that at their max will be immense, but at this moment he cannot unlock them and so hes at a much weaker level right now. You must remember that in the plot yamma and ichigo dont know that ichigo has major powers and will grow even more powerful all they can speculate on is what power he has shown so far. Thus when yamma states that no shinigami has been born in 200 years that is more powerful than him he is correct in terms of where the story is at. Also as you yourself state "ichigo is not yet at his level, nor has his experience, and thanks to ryujin jakka he would be ashes before he could become desperate enough to tap in to his true powers" so you are agreeing with what im saying.... and i dont see why we are debating this any further
