From a purely mathematical standpoint it is true that trader A will always perform better.... provided that they always take the same amount of trades over the same amount of time.
In practice, trader A will most likely take much more trades than trader B. Your argument based on these parameters are biased to begin with. However within the confines of this discussion, I agree that trader A is superior.
In real life, it is not always true. In theory, a scalper will make the most money with the lowest risk. However it is not possible to scalp 24hours. Even 12 hours may be streching it a little. Imagine having to keep this up for the rest of your life just to perform better than trader B. That is why such a large majority of succesful traders are like trader B.
Again my argument here is that the word "better performance" is not well defined.
