I think you saw what you wanted to see, and I saw what I wanted to see.

I haven't seen every single episode. I don't claim to. The episodes I have seen are structured completely differently than the previous shows. It was like a soap opera, it revolved around the other characters, and their interactions/problems. Sisko was more often than not simply the mediator for the solving of these problems. This wasn't the way the other shows worked. That's one of the reasons I liked the show, it was different.

Sisko was more of a Stratagist then Picard could ever claim.
Picard wasn't a strategist, not by any means. He was more, as I said, the philosopher Captain.

The writers couldn't even allow him to be damaged much by that.
That's not true at all. He spent the remainder of the show whining about it. They even dedicated an entire movie to it(First Contact)!

You addressed one of Picard's problems yourself. Sisko had a son. Kirk had a son. Picard didn't. Picard had to face the awful reality that he was the last Picard. His parents were dead, his siblings were dead, his nephews and nieces were dead. He was it, he was all that remained.
