Bardens are the perfect example of how a resistance reading, by itself, means absolutely nothing about the actual output of a pickup.

absolutely correct, as Bill Lawrence says, ". . . the DC resistance of a pickup is about as significant as what color shoes a person is wearing." relative to the sound/output of a pickup.
the resistance is measured in a DC (direct current) scale... interesting since all the voltages present in a passive guitar are AC (Alternating Current).*
* This is the basic concept, there is no need to explore the advanced theory.
