I haven't see the video, but it would be more ideal to show a real explaination of hiw pircing force work rather than one made by fiction (it could or not be wrong/right).

Piercing damage vs blunt damage (and why they're not comparable in AP)

Well, i am open for a page that mathematically calculates to what degree piercing blades can rationally damage somebody of a higher durability and attack potency range than the attacker, as this is an admitted flaw in our system.

I don't think there is a realistic way to account for piercing damage in fiction, and whatever method one could come up with cannot possibly account for the varied ways characters use to do damage, and to top it off we have no real frame of reference to tell how materials would perform vs objects with unrealistic durability and composition.
In real life it's far more complicated than just dividing and multiplying the surface areas of projectiles/blades. None of the calculations dealing with piercing damage account for the fact the materials bullets/blades are made of have a thoughness/durability independent of their kinetic energy and are bound to deform on contact with a material of similar thoughness at such speeds.
