It's not that one is definitely +EV and one is definitly -EV, he has to draw the line somewhere and though theres a grey area there he chose to draw it between 55 and 77.
Set hunting is less viable in tourneys then in cash games because the effective stacks are often not large enough to justify playing to hit a set. This lowers the value of low pocket pairs in tourneys.
