Anyway, in theory, yes, this is true. The question is the specifics. How valuable is 4d6 in a stat versus 3d6?

The default system is random rolls for characteristics. But since there is a point-buy system for these stats, the BRP rules
do have an answer to that question. (A complex one though, since some stats are worth more points than others. Either 3.5 or 10.5, I guess, on average).
With the points-buy system, non-human stats could be a non-problem if you ignore the suggestion that the GM "should adjust your starting points and/or initial characteristics appropriately" (or just decree that it's appropriate to give nothing extra). Then the only advantage they get is higher/lower racial limits to buy up/down to.

In principle, nothing. But, to be fair, shouldn't other races also get that option if they're willing to forego some stats or skills?
