The only thing I could think of is maybe the damage bonus from having Bushido and high honor, or perhaps they were making a general statement that maybe 2 handed weaps have a higher base damage than a one handed weap.
Maybe one of these days the devs will give us a pot chugging helmet. Sorta like the beer can helmet, but this one holds a greater cure on one side, greater heal on the other, and a refresh pot on the top.
