All that technological babble is intresting, but irrelevent. Statistically speaking, Chidori may be RANKED higher then Rasengan, but Rasengan is actually more powerful. As said before, NO ONE has gotten up from the Rasengan and kept fighting, while the Chidori has failed to ever kill or defeat anyone (From what I've seen so far. ) on it's first hit.
The Rasengan: Has failed to kill a weakened medical-nin
The Chidori: Has failed to kill two Jinchuuriki and an Akatsuki with five hearts....
Characters who don't have dues-ex machina abilities (healing abilities of a jinchuuriki or five lives) have been one shoted by the Chidori, where as the Rasengan has yet to kill anyone.
