PS Murphy's Ghost was also in Wiz5, and was worth lots of exp there as well. Too bad there's no tribute to him in W8...
What he was talking about is when you fight monsters you generally get "some" skill points. But, by getting a few hundred thousand points by killing Brekek a few times you won't be getting the skill points you might have accumualted in those few hundred thousand points fighting a ton load of monsters. Four battels with Brekek could equal about 30 to 40 battle with other monsters. I would imagine the typical player would gain a lot of skill points in that many encounters.
Where I think it will come in handy is when my party is near leaveling I could fight Brekek once to get them over the hump.
