16 vs. A or 10

Unfortunately I am not able to give the title of the book that I read but Scarnes is the author. It basically is a complete guide to gambling and the book is extremely thick.

Anyway, in his blackjack chapter, the author goes into very detailed analysis of why standing on a 16 vs. ace or ten is a better decision than hitting. Basically you would lose less times over.

Have any of you read about this or can support the reverse idea of hitting against the ace or ten? This only pertains with a 16 showing up.

Thanks,
Brendan
