@SilverRain: I think Quilge maybe wanted to mention the fact Ishida is a pure blood Quincy while was maybe only a half blood since the blood status seems the be important to the Quincy. And he assumed that Ishida as a pure blood would be naturally stronger as him a "mere halfblood". Thats just a theory though :P.
