By whose standard? Why does that person/group have the authority to impose their standards on other races? If it is might makes right (Q race being more powerful), that in itself is similar enough to the core argument that it calls into question whether the argument is valid to begin with.
Q makes a lot more sense if you consider the whole thing to be a charade. He doesn’t have any intention of killing Picard or any of his crew, or even stopping them on their mission. He does want to put on a show for the rest of the Q continuum to demonstrate the humanity won’t revert to their worst impulses under stress.
Likely, what he ultimately wants is a solution against the Borg. They’re a tricky one for the Q to deal with in more direct ways. Something like how Gandolf can’t directly attack Sauron at full power, because when gods fight, the world tend to break apart.
That’d be such a great theory if the Borg weren’t completely screwed over as an interesting psudo-race with the end of Voyager and … which ever movie it was. Frigging Borg Queen for a hive mind?? A nexus or what ever they called it to teleport out? Asinine writing.

Q is omnipotent. If he wanted them gone he could snap his fingers and they’re gone.
Instead he summons a mariachi band and randomly fucks with Picard.
Think Q get in trouble when they do that with each other
